Wonderful Weather

Weather happens every day, but it's not always the same. Finding out why is lots of fun! Give your kids a head start in science with these simple experiments and activities that have been designed specifically for very young scientists and require only minimal adult supervision. - Air and Temperature - What is temperature? Is hot air the same as cold air? Why does my shirt stick to me on hot days? Water - Why is the grass wet when it didn't rain last night? Where do clouds come from? Why is the sky blue? Ice and Snow - Who made those ice pictures on my window? What is hail? Why is some snow "fluffy" and some "soggy"? Wind - Where does the wind come from? Which way is the wind blowing? What makes tornados go around? Thunder & Lightning - What makes lightning? What makes thunder? Where do rainbows come from? * Fun science activities for younger children, aged 5 to 8 years old. * Illustrated in full colour throughout with wonderful colour cartoons by Steve Harpster.
