Wild Science Projects About Earth's Weather
Why does it rain? How does temperature change through the seasons? Can you make a cloud? Using materials they can find in their home, students start to learn how weather works. By the time young readers are finished with the experiments in this book, they will be ready to design some of their own to enter in their next science fair. Supports the National Science Education Standards for K–4 Earth and Space Science.

Illustrated by Tom Labaff. Rockin' Earth Science Experiments series. Packaged as ideas for science fair projects, these earth science activities encourage detailed and sometimes long-term observation, careful planning, and consideration of core scientific concepts. Although explanations of the scientific principles in each activity are provided, they enhance rather than replace the experiments themselves (though some of the activities across the books are similar). Each is accompanied by cheery cartoonlike illustrations. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind., The Horn Book Guide Fall 2007
