What Makes the Weather?
(from Ranger Rick's Nature Scope: WILD ABOUT WEATHER by Judy Braus, Ed.
Copyright 1985)It's raining on tadpoles in Paris
And snowing on deer in Peru.
There's hail falling down in Montana
And it's clobbered a cricket or two.The fish in Dakota are freezing,
The rabbits in Florida "sweat."
It's drizzling on horses in Scotland,
And leopards are wet in Tibet.High winds in the Canadian Rockies
Are keeping the sheep on the run.
What makes all this crazy old weather?
Just the earth, water, air, and the sun!Welcome to our web site all about the weather. This site is designed to teach elementary school students about different aspects of the weather including: different weather phenomena, instruments which measure the weather, and how weather occurs. There are also pages with different activities and links to other sites about the weather.
