 This program explores the mechanics of measuring wind speed and direction as well as the use of wind as an energy source. Students will also learn how wind occurs by finding out about the roles of temperature, air pressure and the sun. Graphics and animation will clearly illustrate these patterns. Students will also learn how hot-air balloons work in this exciting look at weather's invisible force. One of six volumes in the Weather Fundamentals Video Series in the Schlessinger Science Library.

"  ...Good graphics, enjoyable scripting and cool facts make the Weather Fundamentals series an excellent choice. ...Highly recommended." - Video Librarian
"Both public and school libraries will want to purchase this great new series....Each segment can be used as a lesson by itself, although not even the most restless student would have trouble watching the entire video at one sitting. The technical quality is excellent, and the background music is snappy....Another reason to add this series to collections that probably already have some weather videos is the currency of the information." - School Library Journal
"...this professional, polished series is a perfect companion to classroom weather units and projects." - Booklist
