At any given moment some 2,000 thunderstorms are raging somewhere on Earth. Viewers will learn this and many more fascinating meteorological facts in Way Cool Science: All About Weather, hosted by friendly Max Orbit. Combining plenty of onscreen vocabulary with excellent graphics and live-action examples, this energetic program moves at a blisteringly fast pace as it describes the basic components of weather and how we measure it. Other topics covered include clouds and precipitation, climate zones and seasons, the effects of air currents and air pressure, and big storms. After each brief segment, a three-question quiz offers the opportunity to review main ideas. Highly recommended. Aud: E, I, P. (E. Gieschen)
