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 in other places of 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. Part of the multivolume Weather For Children Video Series. Includes a Teacher's Guide. It's the largest object in the night sky, yet it looks different every night. It's the moon -- and kids love it! But, what do they really know about it? All About the Moon will give children the scoop on the Earth's nearest neighbor in space. Why does it look different every night? Could people live on the moon someday? Children will learn this and much more in this fun video. Spectacular NASA footage and lively animation will pique kids' curiosity. Hands-on activities are ideal for students to use as ideas for science fair projects. One of five volumes in the Space Science for Children Video Series in the Schlessinger Science Library.
