PERRYSBURG, Ohio — WTOL 11 Chief Meteorologist visited Frank Elementary School in Perrysburg Friday afternoon to show second-grade students the wonders of the science behind weather.
The students asked questions on topics ranging from storms and hurricanes to lightning, thunder and static electricity.
Some students were treated to an especially hair-raising experience as Vickers used a balloon to show how static electricity works.
He also used a variety of other simple objects, like two bottles full of water and taped together, to show how and why different weather events happen.
Vickers said the second-grade students showed particular interest in severe weather and storms.
