Description
Simple text and photographs describe what a thermometer is and how it works to measure temperature.
Quick Summary
This book turns the everyday mystery of "how hot is it really?" into a cool science adventure that kids can touch and see. Kids will love peering at real photographs of thermometers in action, from outdoor weather stations to kitchen thermometers, and discovering why ice cream melts on a summer day while snow stays frozen in winter. If your kid loves the "Magic School Bus" science series or "National Geographic Kids" weather books, they'll snap up this temperature explorer. Perfect for kindergarten through third graders (ages 5-8) who are curious about how scientists measure the world around them.
