Let’s Find Out about HEAT WEATHER and AIR, written by Nina and Herman Schneider and illustrated by Jeanne Bendick is a non-fiction children’s book published in August of 1969 by Scholastic Book Services. This book explores many experiments dealing with heat, weather, and air. The book begins by taking the reader through three experiments dealing with heating objects. This section is called Heat, the Magician and talks about how heat causes objects to expand and in turn can un stick a stuck jam lid by causing the metal lid to expand and come off the jar. The book then examines how Heat Moves without Feet. It talks the reader through how heat travels from one place to another through convection. The next section shows the reader how heat travels through different object. How Heat Works for You is the next section explored by the authors of this book. Shortly following this book provides s series of experiments that allow the reader to create their own weather. Air is the next series of experiments these experiments will take the reader through discussing topics such as riding on air and airplanes.
Let’s Find Out about HEAT WEATHER and AIR gives the reader many fun and useful experiments to use when teaching young children. The teacher could simply read this informational book and conduct the experiments in front of or with the students of his or her classroom. This is a good resource, with accurate information, for science lessons based on heat, with experiments about what happens to metal when it is heated, why the Empire State Building bends on a hot day, and why bare feet are warmer on a mat than on the floor. It is also good for weather based lessons with experiments on making fog and frost forming on a window on a cold day. The last lesson this book would benefit is a lesson based on air conducting experiments like can air be poured like lemonade?, why worms come out of the ground after it rains, and what makes airplanes stay in the air.
