..". anyone with an interest in weather shouldn't pass this book up. Teachers will find it a welcome addition to the science program."
Product Description
This title is suitable for ages 9 to 12 years. Imagine how proud any child would be advising parents to bring an umbrella because it's going to rain. Kids will be doing that and much more: Kids build their won weather equipment. Forget expensive store-bought kits. The learning happens when you make everything from scratch: from a psychrometer to a barometer, a hair hygrometer to a rooster wind vane. You can give a complete forecast. Kids record their observations in a Weather Log, use graphs and charts, and spot trends. Read the cloud and wind direction, and look to the sunset's glow to make more accurate predictions. Ask Mark, the meteorologist: What's the worst forecast you ever gave? How have computers changed forecasting? What do you like best about your job? Do you believe weather lore? Weather on the wild side: Hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards and floods - how they happen and how our predictions are becoming more accurate.

Have a child who wants to know about how the weather works with lots of practical things to do? This is the book for you.
It has a hands-on style with lots of pictures, but with plenty of the real science to answer the questions that 10 year olds love to ask.
A book they can go back to again and again, whatever the weather!

Kid's Weather
6 Oct 2000
Format:Paperback
Fabulous! Mark Breen's new book helps kids and grown-ups understand how the weather works. He gives great instructions on how to build weather instruments. He gives lots of hints for predicting the weather, including looking out the window. The Weather Man's Song is a hit!

This author has actually met a child
12 Mar 2007
Format:Paperback
This book is a fabulous text for introducing the beginning "meterologist" to the weather. My children adore the hands-projects, illustrations, and the cartoons added for comic-relief. As a parent, I loved seeing my three children work together on a project. The excitement created in my home was a joy to watch. As a homeschooling parent, hearing them jump out of bed asking, "Can we do science first?" was delightful.
