Este livro mostra de uma maneira divertida todos os fenômenos relativos ao ar, como isolamento, correntes de convecção, pressão do ar e aerodinâmica, além de explicar como voam os aviões, os helicópteros e as pipas e por que os pára-quedas caem lentamente na terra. Com muitas experiências que permitem às crianças investigar as curiosidades científicas e compreender o importante papel que desenvolvem em sua vida.

Summary
This book teaches children about time, different seasons and calendar. It goes into detail about the sun and the moon not actually setting but the earth turning to face the sun and the moon. The book explains why there are seven days in a week and gives information about different time zones.

Personal Response
I found the book to be educational but fun at the same time.

Extension Ideas
1. Make clocks out of construction paper and have the children practice moving the clock hands to a show more specific time.
2. Take the children outside to look at the sun and ask which direction it will set in. show less

This is a great book for children that participate in science fairs. The experiments in the book can be used as they are or they can be used as a guide to help children develope their own experiments.

I used these experiments in my Science classroom so many times.
