A wonderful way to teach kids about weather

By Megan B., Publisher Mom Chattanooga November 4, 2010

With all these storms passing through and the weather being in a lot of focus on the news and at school, I thought this would be a perfect time to tell you all about an amazing website I found.

Let's face it, most kids are amazed by weather. Storms are scary, rainbows are pretty, snow is fun, and the summer sun is hot! 

Why not take advantage of your child's fascination with weather and turn it into a learning opportunity?

Weather Wiz Kids is an amazing site put together by meteorologist Crystal Wicker. This website is made for kids to help them learn all about weather. 

This site is an amazing tool for parents and teachers alike. With info on basic weather, like storms, temperature, and wind, to a page teaching kids all about predicting weather and learning what the symbols on the weather map mean. Also, there is a whole page of wonderful and fun experiments your child can do!

I encourage you to check this site out with your kids! I learned a lot about the weather myself!!!
