Revealing what creates those unexpected snow days and the rain at recess, this activity guide goes beyond mere forecasting and reporting to thoroughly address children's curiosities about the world's weather. The process of how wind, sun, and water combine to form certain conditions is explored, and the reasons why weather reaches extreme levels--and what this means for each climate--are also explained in detail. Featuring 25 hands-on projects, this handbook guides kids through creating a storm in a bottle, touching the clouds, building a weather safety kit, and even eating an edible climate map, resulting in an unforgettable understanding of these forces of nature.
