You can find out about flight and how weather works! You can test

illustrations show youngsters carrying out the practical projects
in simple stages, making learning accessible and enjoyable. It is
perfect for school use by 5- to 7-year-olds. It contains guidance
notes for grown-up helpers using the book to teach children at
home. A full glossary explains all the scientific terms used. Does
hot air rise? Can air be used to lift things? Can it keep things
warm? How do wings work? All of these questions and many others are
answered in this exciting book, which explores the wonders of our
atmosphere. Make a miniature windmill, see bubbles of air in water,
and create your own weather vane to test the wind's direction. This
series introduces younger readers to science in a structured but
interesting way. Each book explores a different aspect of science.
Fun activities encourage young children to explore and learn about
the world around them, and complement the scientific points
outlined in the simple introductory text.
