A champion of educational fun, Jim Noonan (a.k.a. Professor Figgy) guides readers 9 to 12 through the topics of weather and climate, while also teaching the importance of affecting change in the world. With the 30 labs here, kids can make a weather vane, a pollution sensor, and a solar water purifier, and the book is rounded out with trivia about people of interest, historical events, and science facts.
