It was sweltering today, and the low air pressure signaled an approaching storm. Mom was out all day working. Dad kept me company as we read the science book with the AC at full blast. We learned about weather and climate. It was pretty boring, but at least I remembered four words: thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, and troposphere. Plus others, like the tools hygrometer and barometer. Basically, it was just a vocabulary lesson. Scientific articles are the hardest for me – too many big words. I prefer stories.
