Author Description

From light breezes to heavy storms, Weather Watcher helps young readers understand the different weather conditions that affect our everyday lives. With over 30 activities, kids can study clouds and fog, make a rainbow, create a snowflake, track a storm, and make tornadoes and hurricanes using everyday objects. Eyewitness Explorers encourage hands-on learning with 30 easy activities that help children observe, explore, and learn about the natural world. Each book explains the science behind the activities, laying the essential groundwork for contextualizing the experience to come. But at the heart of the books are the activities themselves--a chance to learn by doing with experiments that can be carried out right at home. Most can even be completed with materials already on hand, so there's no complicated preparation or specialized equipment needed. Simply choose one of the projects and follow the step-by-step, photographically illustrated instructions.
