How Do Meteorologists Predict the Future?: A Science Book About Meteorology
by Lisa Spencer, Srimalie Bassani (Illustrator)

5 out of 5 stars

Meteorologists gather data by sending up weather balloons, satellites, and taking readings from the ground. Then they can predict how the weather will change by using complex math and computer programs to analyze the data. They use many different weather instruments to measure temperature, rainfall, wind speed, and barometric pressure.

This is such a fun book! I love the cute illustrations and funny characters. The information is clearly explained step by step in a playful way that makes it memorable. There is even a science experiment at the back of the book that you can do to create your own thunderstorm in a plastic jar. You can also do a craft to make your own weather vane!

5 out of 5 stars

Athletes have to train for years in order to qualify for the Olympic team in their sport and be selected by their country to go to the Olympic games! While there, they represent the spirit of peace and community for their nation among all the countries of the world. Most athletes discover their love of sports when they are young through sport programs at school. If they show a special aptitude or passion for one sport, they might train with an elite group or find a special coach. Then they will have a chance to be selected for the Olympics.

It was so interesting learning more about Olympian athletes and the challenges they face. I especially liked the emphasis on teamwork and promoting peace and goodwill through friendly sports competitions.

How Do You Turn Data Into Drawings?: A Statistics Book About Graphs and Data
by Clayton Grider, Srimalie Bassani (Illustrator)

5 out of 5 stars

Scientists gather data and organize it to find the results and make predictions. First they have to gather the data in a random way so that there is no bias in their results. This book warns about several types of data bias that can mess up your analysis if you don’t watch out. You have to consider all the variables. Once scientists have gathered their data, they can organize it in a graph or chart, and see the results. You could make a pie chart, a bar graph, or a box and whisker plot.

This is such a fun book! I love the cute illustrations and the hilarious characters. The information is clearly explained step by step in a playful way that makes it memorable. At the back of the book there are some experiments you can try to gather data and make your own charts!
