Books with title First Science Experiments: Wonderful Weather

Wind, rain, soft drifting snowflakes and burning sunshine: all kids wonder what makes the weather what it is. How can we predict whether there will be blue skies or rain tomorrow? Where do clouds come from? Why do we have thunder and lightning? Answer all these questions and more with entertaining experiments geared to youngsters in the second and third grades. Using blown-up balloons and the refrigerator, test the difference between cool and hot air. Wrap a thermometer in a wet paper towel, wait a little bit, and then compare it to one that's left unwrapped: it will reveal the secrets of humidity. (And explain why two days with exactly the same temperature can feel completely different.) Make some morning dew to understand why the grass is wet when you wake up--even if it didn't rain. Create a hailstorm from blueberries, start a mini-tornado, keep a weather diary, and more!

If your child is struggling with science, then this book is for you; the short book covers the topic and also contains 5 science experiments to work with, and ten quiz questions. This subject comes from the book “Fifth Grade Science (For Home School or Extra Practice)”; it more thoroughly covers more fourth grade topics to help your child get a better understanding of fifth grade math. If you purchased that book, or plan to purchase that book, do not purchase this, as the problems are the same.

Get the scoop on weather—from the ground, right up to the clouds in the sky. Dozens of really amazing hands-on experiments, along with fascinating facts and figures, help kids comprehend fundamental aspects of our world, including why the North Pole is colder than the Equator and whether lightning ever really does strike twice. Youngsters will enjoy making an indoor cloud, dissecting a hailstone, and even building a weather station. “Dozens of meticulously described experiments and a detailed, clear explanation of what happens and why. The experiments are easy to set up and carry out."—School Library Journal.

Does water have skin? Why do marshmallows expand in the microwave? Young scientists will learn the answers to these questions and more through hands-on experiments that are both fun and educational. Readers will be captivated as they see magnetism, forces and motion, materials and reactions, energy, and more come to life right at their fingertips. With experiments designed to complement STEM learning, readers will be encouraged to draw connections between concepts they explore in the classroom and the science they discover in everyday life.
