Explore Winter!

Young readers become scientists in the field when this activity book sends them off to answer the question "e;Why do we have winter?"e; with experiments and projects that mix real science with real fun. Combining hands-on learning with trivia, jokes, riddles, and terrific illustrations, chapters start with the "e;tools"e; of science-the scientific method and how to keep a science journal-and then investigate the winter constellations, long nights and long shadows, animal tracking in snow, and food-gathering behavior in birds.
