ReviewsThere's nothing like adventure to lure students to science. This book, part of a series called Extreme Explorations, is designed to appeal to 3rd through 6th grade students. It's full of drama and provides accurate science content. Readers follow storm chasers as they explore meteorology. The book has a rather unusual format for this grade level. Each page features a stand-alone topic such as "In a Twister" or "Seeking Supercells." Information is presented in a dramatic fashion to engender interest, and the various topics have annotated illustrations to draw attention to specific items mentioned in the text. The text is written in short, easily understood sentences designed to appeal to students at this age level. Also provided is a glossary that pulls together all the terms presented on the various pages; a section with further information from websites, films, and books; and an index. Either alone or as part of the series, this book could provide students with a desire to read about science. It would be a useful addition to a school library or classroom science reading shelf.
