Find answers to hard questions at the SciJinks Weather Laboratory
The SciJinks Weather Laboratory at http://scijinks.gov is a website for
middle school-age children, sponsored by both NASA and NOAA. Skyjacks
presents weather and other Earth science topics via games, stories, and fun
facts, as well as simple, concise answer to often-asked ³how and why²
questions. For example, answers will be found to ³Why is the sky blue?,²
³How does a hurricane form?² and ³Why do we have seasons?²
Two new ³how & whys² have recently been added:
* How did earth¹s atmosphere form?
* Why doesn¹t the atmosphere just float off into space?
Other how and why topics are listed at scijinks.gov/weather/howwhy.
Additional weather-related resources for teachers are available at
scijinks.gov/en/educators.
