One of our most popular displays, the tornado machine uses a fan, directed air streams, and water vapour to form a visible funnel cloud at the push of a button. Visitors are welcome to put their hands into the tornado machine to feel the air currents and disrupt the funnel cloud to see it reform.
Directly adjacent to the tornado machine, you can be a meteorologist on Global TV. Stand in front of the green screen and give viewers the current temperatures around the province and the precipitation forecast.
Also found here is our Climate Clues exhibit! Learn about the evidence behind climate change, how to sort facts from fiction, and real climate-related research being done by UBC scientists.
