Mr. Gumm brought many interesting activities as a part of his presentation; such as rain clouds, cloud in a bottle, tornado in a bottle, how hail is formed, lightning and thunder, and the popular “hurricane” using a spray bottle and a leaf blower!

Mr. Gumm also explained that he became interested in weather and meteorology when he was in fourth grade. The students had a wonderful time participating in this presentation.
