Summary:
All About Climate & Seasons: Winter, spring, summer and fall. We know what happens in our own backyards at these times during the year, but it isn't the same everywhere in the world. Why do the seasons change? And what causes different regions in the world to have different climates? All About Rain, Snow, Sleet & Hail: Precipitation comes in many different forms and is caused by a wide variety of forces. But what makes the sky open up? And how is water changed into all of these different forms? All About Wind & Clouds: Wind and clouds are aspects of nature that fascinate us, and can help meteorologists predict upcoming weather patterns. All About Wind & Clouds takes young students on a lively exploration of these everyday weather forms, where they'll learn more about the various types of clouds and how the wind affects them. All About Meteorology: See how meteorologists can predict the weather for the upcoming week and even a few months down the road through scientific deduction and high-tech equipment, and learn how to set up your own mini-weather station to monitor conditions in your area.
