foundation visited a middle school in oakland. as chris alvarez shows us, the kids were stunned to see nba champion steph curry right in front of them. >> say cheese! [applause] how are y'all doing? doing good? reporter: describe the importance of today and what will happen on these grounds. >> bringing the elp bus helping sponsor the event where we can continue to give kids the excitement and inspiration and resources across our three pillars. we are on the playground. we are going to play. we have books. we are going to read and learn. we have fresh produce and items they can take home as well, hitting all three pillars to help learn. reporter: i love seeing the bus again. how big was play for you as a child? >> healthy active lifestyles are huge for kids to have a solid balance

big part of identifying your sense of identity and confidence. >> good work! >> that was nasty. a sense of community and being able to play with other kids from different backgrounds, different ages. it is about self-discovery. this is beautiful. reporter: how much fun is this a price when you come out and the reaction -- is the surprise when you come out? can you describe the reaction? >> i am never far removed fro those moments, whether 30 seconds or 30 minutes, for a kid, it can change something in their lives whether it is that they feel seen, they have been down and needed a little excitement in their lives, the inspiration of maybe they find something in me and able to shake their hands or give them a high-five that could lift them up. when those moments present

themselves, i enjoy to the fullest. we are proud of the scale of the work we have been able to do coming up on four years. i think what we are most proud of his staying true to who we are and what we are doing across the three pillars. we have somebody who believe in us. it is not just because of who we are but because of the work we are doing and what elp stands for. that is special. liz: very cool. by now, most of us expect to experience at least some effects of climate change when we step out the door. now researchers are trying to find if we are experiencing some unsettling effects on airplanes. reporter: if you have flown at all, chances are you have experienced turbulence. recent studies out of the u.k. are suggesting global climate change could be making those bumps more frequent and possibly more severe. using satellite data,

researchers estimated a specific kind of turbulence has increased by 15% in areas along the earth's jet stream. to question now, what is ahead for pilots and passengers? >> i agree the studies are valid but we need to do more experiments to verify. >> he is the department chair for aviation and energy technology at san jose state university. using a tabletop wind tunnel and a heating pad, he gave us a look at what happens when changes in temperature create windshear. >> that means there is some turbulence created in the plane is moving up and down. as the earth is warming up, it heats up the air in the air will go up. reporter: that can trigger what is known as clear air turbulence. unpredictable stretches of bumpy air at high altitudes not caused by storms. and fellow san jose state lecturer is a working airline pilot with firsthand experience.

>> i tend to fly the from the west coast to hawaii. i have seen clear air turbulence increase over the last four years. reporter: he climbed into a simulator to give us a feel for what pilots experience. >> we are starting to get into turbulent air. the airplane is literally bouncing around. reporter: he is careful to point out variations in turbulence can be traceable to a variety of factors. the rise in the mix. >> as the ground heats, it radiates the hot air into the atmosphere. those moving air currents develop shear. reporter: many pilots have tracking software to help share locations of clear air and other turbulence between flight crews. you may want to buckle in for long-term projections. researchers in the u.k. studies believe frequency of turbulence along the north american jet

stream could triple in the upcoming decades, depending on climate change. back in the lab, the professor says confirming data is step one. if the increase in turbulence turns into a new reality, predicting this behavior could be critical. >> we can do better predictions of what could be happening. the data is helpful. but you really need to analyze it carefully to come up with prediction models. reporter: models that someday could help smooth out the challenges brought by climate change. liz: is out and explore the world. one grandmother-grandson duo are taking it to heart. the 93-year-old and her grandson made it their mission to visit all three national parks. last week, they accomplished the goal ending the 7.5-year journey with a visit to national samoa park. de pere
