Summary:

How strong is the wind? Is it possible to tell the time using sunshine? How much water is in a handful of snow? In this title, students will conduct experiments to help them better understand weather. Kids will also investigate concepts such as how swirling air creates a tornado. Using everyday items that can easily be found around the house, students will transform into scientists as they carry out step-by-step experiments to answer interesting questions. Along the way, children will pick up important scientific skills. Weather includes seven experiments with detailed, age-appropriate instructions, surprising facts and background information, a conclusions section to pull all the concepts in the book together, and a glossary of science words. Colorful, dynamic designs and images truly put the FUN into FUN-damental Experiments.
