Quick Summary

What do invisible forces, sky-high layers of air, and raindrop rockets have in common? Kids will love zooming through the atmosphere like astronauts, discovering why clouds float (they're not water balloons!), and watching air pressure crush a soda can while holding up a skyscraper. If your kid loves the hands-on science fun of the Magic School Bus series, they'll be hooked on this atmospheric adventure. Perfect for curious readers in grades 4 through 6 who want to understand the sky above them.
