From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| Grade 2-3-Combining actual incidents (e.g., teachers rescuing their classes during the storm of 1888, and deer in a Buffalo zoo escaping over snowdrifts in 1977) and scientific weather data in an easy-reader format makes this title a sure choice for whole-language science curricula. Included are windchill tables; a page of "Blizzard Tips"; information on the formation of winter weather patterns; and a look at the meteorologist's task of sifting through incoming data, computer projections, and personal experience to predict the onset of severe storms. Pastel-toned illustrations, diagrams, and maps round out the package. This title is not as scientifically focused as Arlene Erlbach's Blizzards (Childrens, 1995), but is still a tidy introduction to a fearsome weather phenomena (with a nice lacing of history to boot).
