Readers learn about barometers, humidity, snowflakes, and more with the great weather science experiments in this book. Authors Robert Gardner and Salvatore Tocci guide readers through their best weather science experiments using full-color illustrations. Many experiments include ideas for a student's science fair.

Award-winning author Robert Gardner has been engaging young readers for decades. He continues to educate readers with simple hands-on activities that help kids understand earth science, including what exactly rain is, what air pressure is, and if rainfall can be measured. A glossary and a detailed explanation section following each experiment describe the science concepts and terms. Color illustrations accompany each experiment.

From the everyday phenomena of wind and clouds to the awesome, destructive power of lightning, tornados, and hurricanes, children can explore weather in detail with this fascinating science activity book. Throughout the text instructions for building weather-measuring tools—barometers, psychrometers, anemometers, wind vanes, rain gauges, and thermometers—allow the reader to assemble them into a working weather station. More than 40 weather projects are included, such as building a model of the water cycle, creating a tornado in a bottle, calculating dew point, and reading a weather map. Most of the experiments also include ideas for expanding them into full-fledged science fair projects. Weather-related environmental issues are also addressed, such as global climate change, ozone depletion, and acid rain, as well as profiles of scientists working in the field of meteorology.
