A former college reference librarian, Andrews is an education writer and a language arts editor. This is the second volume in a series of teachers’ guides that show how to teach science through an intermingling of myth and fact. It focuses on natural phenomena occurring in the air-clouds and rain; thunder and lightning; wind; fogs, mists, and mirages; storms; snow, frost, and ice; rainbows; and auroras. Each chapter contains an adaptation of a myth and an explanation of the science behind the myth, followed by several topics for discussion, projects, and suggested readings.
