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.

What is weather and climate? In this Weather title, readers will learn the answer to that question along with its causes, processes, effects, and why it is important. They will also be introduced to John Dalton, a meteorologist. Bright, full-page photos fill the book, with easy-to-read text. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards.

When you step outside, you're standing in weather! And weather is different every day. Learn all about weather with these fun projects and experiments you can do outside or with materials you find outdoors.

Math is everywhere when it comes to the weather! See what's brewing inside this book'and how we need math to finish the forecast! You'll need your math smarts to measure the temperature, calculate how far away a storm is based on the time between the thunder and the lightning, predict how much rain there will be in a month, and more. It all adds up to a lot of fun!
