Why do the seasons change? Why does it rain? And what exactly is a cloud
made of? These and many other basic weather questions are addressed in
Weather for Children, an informative series that introduces young
students to a variety of basic weather concepts and terms. Through lively
footage and animations, students will learn how clouds develop, what creates
wind, how precipitation such as rain and snow forms, and how different
factors on Earth affect the climate for a region. Simple hands-on experiments
and investigations will help demonstrate weather concepts in a way kids can
understand and remember. This series correlates to the National Science
Education Standards for Earth & Space Science: Properties of Earth Materials,
Objects in the Sky and changes in Earth & Sky.

Winter, spring, summer and fall. We know what happens in our own back yards
at these times during the year, but it isn't the same everywhere in the world! When
it's warm and sunny where you are, it might be very different at other places in the
world. Why do the seasons change? And what causes different regions in the
world to have different climates? These and other questions are answered in All
About Climate & Seasons, where young students will learn about these yearly
changes through engaging examples and explanations. A hands-on investigation
shows the effects of direct sunlight on areas of the world, while Dr. Jon Nese,
chief meteorologist at The Franklin Institute Science Museum, demonstrates the
concept behind the device known as an orrery. 23 minutes.

Have you ever wondered how a weather forecaster knows what the weather
will be like? In All About Meteorology, young students will 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.
Students will visit with Dr. Jon Nese, chief meteorologist at The Franklin Institute
Science Museum in Philadelphia, to get an up-close look at the equipment
meteorologists use to forecast the weather and explore such concepts as the
water cycle and air pressure. Through a fun, hands-on demonstration, see
how students can set up their own mini-weather station to monitor conditions
in their own areas. 23 minutes.

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? Young students will find the answer to these
questions in All About Rain, Snow, Sleet & Hail and learn more about
the sky and storm clouds in this engaging program. Two hands-on
demonstrations show that air not only has weight, but that warm air rises,
while a visit with a meteorologist illustrates how the measurement and
observation of rainfall helps in determining the forecast. 23 minutes.

Cool breezes or mighty gusts, soft and fluffy, or dark and foreboding...
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. A visit with Dr. Jon Nese, chief meteorologist
at The Franklin Institute Science Museum, demonstrates how wind speed is
measured with an anemometer, while a fun, hands-on demonstration shows
kids how thy can build their own weather vane to monitor wind patterns in their
area. 23 minutes.
