About this title

Synopsis

The how-to book for junior meteorologists. Few science writers are as child-friendly as Dr. Fred Bortz, whose previous books for young readers have been praised as "solid and intriguing" (Booklist) and "fascinating and thought-provoking" (School Library Journal). Here he shows kids how to predict the weather in their own backyards - using simple, inexpensive, self-built meteorological instruments that add up to a fully operational weather station. Based on a state science fair winner, this project can easily be adpated by weather-loving readers for their own school fairs. Or they can simply enjoy the book's wealth of fun weather facts, simple explanations of weather concepts, and additional guidance for online research.
