Take a look out your window. Whats the weather like today? Has it changed much from morning to afternoon? What is the difference between weather and climate? In The Science of Weather and Climate: Rain, Sleet, and the Rising Tide, middle schoolers learn the science behind why it snows, how wind is formed, what makes one region hot and dry and another region cold and damp, plus lots more! By studying the atmospheric sciences of meteorology and climatology, kids learn to connect the weather they experience on a daily basis in their town with the changing conditions across the entire planet.
- Readers learn that the difference between weather and climate is a difference in measurementweather is measured on a daily, even hourly basis, while climate is observed across decades and even centuries. As the planet warms, these changing climate conditions cause a rise in extreme weather events across the planet and create the need for a new understanding of how human behavior affects the atmosphere and, eventually, our own environments.
- Science-minded STEM activities such as creating your own barometer, testing the effects of air pressure, and tracking the effects of uneven heating on the earths surface encourage young readers to think like scientists while critical thinking exercises, essential questions, fascinating facts, links to online resources, and more encourage readers to explore this incredible planet.

Why should you study weather and climate?
Weather and climate shape your everyday life and could very well shape your future. Understanding how your world works helps you to appreciate it more, as well as to protect it better.
The weather and the climate where you live controls your life in many ways. The daily weather might determine what clothes you wear, whether or not you go outside for lunch, and what activity you do after school. The climate of your area likely influences what kind of car your parents drive, what kind of house you live in, and, believe it or not, what food you eat and even what diseases you might get!
Although weather and climate have wide-ranging effects on our lives, many people do not truly understand the difference between weather and climate. Weather describes the daily variations of temperature, precipitation, wind, and cloudiness that are happening in your immediate world. Climate, on the other hand, is the average of those weather happenings during a long period of time.
