This title is suitable for ages 9 to 12 years. Imagine how proud any child would be advising parents to bring an umbrella because it's going to rain.

Kids will be doing that and much more: Kids build their won weather equipment.

Forget expensive store-bought kits. The learning happens when you make everything from scratch: from a psychrometer to a barometer, a hair hygrometer to a rooster wind vane.

You can give a complete forecast. Kids record their observations in a Weather Log, use graphs and charts, and spot trends.

Read the cloud and wind direction, and look to the sunset's glow to make more accurate predictions.

Ask Mark, the meteorologist: What's the worst forecast you ever gave?

How have computers changed forecasting? What do you like best about your job? Do you believe weather lore? Weather on the wild side: Hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards and floods - how they happen and how our predictions are becoming more accurate.
