Understanding How Weather Happens (5-9) From basic physics
and geography to explaining barometric pressure and air patterns that
affect storms, this guide teaches the hows and whys of weather. The
easy-to-understand lessons, activity sheets, experiments, and
illustrations teach about the familiar (temperature, humidity,
clouds, precipitation) and more abstract (fronts, storms, jet
streams) weather phenomena. Each chapter contains many surprising
weather facts! Students will learn to access today’s
unprecedented amount of weather information using the daily
newspaper. (Earth Science, Geography, Interdisciplinary)
