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.

One of the things we notice every day after looking out our windows is what the weather is like outside. Whether it’s snowing, it’s raining, or the sun is shining, weather affects many aspects of our daily lives. In this accessible text, young readers will get a closer look at the science behind weather and how it affects our world. The main text is supplemented with bold, full-color photographs, giving readers a better idea of what different kinds of weather look like. Informative diagrams also help early learners better understand this common science curriculum topic.
