    The Kids' Book of Weather Forecasting

    Build a weather station, "Read" the sky, and make predictions!

    Imagine how proud anyone would be advising friends to bring an umbrella--before that surprise shower! With this book, kids will be doing that and much more. Here's some of what kids will learn and do:

  • Kids build their own weather equipment! The learning happens when kids make everything from scratch: a psychrometer, a barometer, a hair hygrometer, and a rain gauge--not to mention a rooster wind vane.
  • Kids learn to record their observations in a Weather Log, spot trends, make predictions, read clouds and wind direction, look to the sunset's glow, and understand highs and lows to make "Quick-Take Forecasts."
  • Ask Mark, the meteorologist: How has technology changed forecasting? What's the "worst" forecast you ever gave? What equipment do you use? Do you believe weather lore about wooly caterpillars and red sails in the sunset?
  • Weather on the wild side: Hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, and floods--how they happen and how our predictions are becoming accurate.

    Whether it's a foggy morning, a sunny afternoon, or our changing seasons, The Kids' Book of Weather Forecasting is year-round practical science that fascinates kids and grown-ups, too. Recommended for kids ages 7 to 13--and their families and friends!

    Mark Breen is senior meteorologist and planetarium director at the Fairbanks Museum in Vermont. In addition to delivering daily weather forecast on public radio, he explores the wonders of weather with hundreds of students every year. Kathleen Friestad, a writer and editor, help to develop Weather Tracker, an educational weather program.
