Fun and interesting

The next time your kids (or you) are stuck inside - this is a great read about the weather. Funny factoids are mixed with real scientific information that make it comprehensible to children, but interesting for adults as well.

Great information!

I will be using this as a teaching guide for a thematic unit on weather.
