Reviews

[Lynn Davidson · Rating 4 out of 5]

In this science story the reader can learn about weather and meteorologists who predict it through data collection, barometric pressure, radar, and more. Instructions for two experiments to try are Make Your Own Barometer; Be A Weather Forecaster. Nicely illustrated. A glossary of seven words is included.

[Anna · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's a book about how people predict weather and how weather affects certain climates. The illustrations are alright and there are two experiments at the end of the book for you to try out. There is also a glossary and a resources section to read/learn more about this topic.
