What is chaos and why can’t we predict the weather? with Miguel Beneitez

In this Live Lesson, learners will meet Miguel Beneitez and learn about chaos and its role in global weather patterns.

What is chaos and what is order? In this Live Lesson for secondary or high school students, we will look at where we see Chaos in nature and understand why the weather is just so difficult to predict, and how that affects us on the whole, including an exciting look at Miguel's latest research, and something many of us will have experienced - turbulence while flying.
