I don't specifically know about the weather unit, but we have done the Rainforest one and are currently working on the human body one. They, imho, go quite in depth on the topics and suggest titles for additional reading to go even more in depth. I think that the workpages are really quite challenging at times.
I have workpages for all 4 of my children doing it - ds 10, dd 8, and ds 6 and 6. Older two fill out their own pages. I do the twins. It is a little over their heads, but they are still enjoying it and learning something, so I don't count it as a waste of time.
As to how advanced it would be for your 7 yo, would depend on the child. It is not rocket science, but it is not fluff either. There are some easier questions and and some that really require thinking and application, and even extra work - ie. looking things up and doing mini reports.
IXIC,
