NASA Why? Files
Case of the Phenomenal Weather

Join the tree house detectives as they plan a trip to the Caribbean and encounter problems in trying to predict the weather. In this case the tree house detectives will learn about violent storms, such as hurricanes and tornadoes, weather fronts, global wind patterns, and climates. While solving the case, they will discover that predicting the weather is not predictable at all!
