Young readers become scientists in the field when this activity book
sends them off to answer the question "Why do we have winter?" with
experiments and projects that mix real science with real fun. Combining
hands-on learning with trivia, jokes, riddles, and terrific
illustrations, chapters start with the "tools" of science--the
scientific method and how to keep a science journal--and then
investigate the winter constellations, long nights and long shadows,
animal tracking in snow, and food-gathering behavior in birds.
