NCAR (National Center for Atmospheric Research) is a landmark at the base of the
Flatirons in
Boulder, CO. The name pretty much describes what they do. The building was designed by renowned architect
I. M. Pei in 1961. Last week my daughter's class went on a field trip to this cool facility and as any good Dad with a camera does I took mine to capture the class having fun. I did not know what to expect but needless to say I will be going back for a "photo shoot", there are so many cool shots to be had at NCAR.
There is a section of NCAR that is open to the public with some interesting hands on displays. For field trips the staff takes the kids on a tour and then they get to do some lab experiments. Below the kids got to use plastic bottles and bubbles to learn the impact of hot and cold air.
Below are just a couple of interesting shots of a couple displays.
