Short summary
Environmental education characteristically deal with observable natural phenomena. Atmospheric and marine whirls include a wide scale and some of them can be easily modeled even in a school laboratory which can be a great motivating force for the students to learn more about the physics of these phenomena. This paper demonstrates the introductory steps of the elaboration of a learning material about the atmospheric eddies and shows how can be connected the formal and non-formal teaching methods.
