Today we are investigating Severe Weather systems on Earth. We will be completing a webquest activity in groups of 3 to investigate and learn more about severe weather (specifically - Tornadoes, Thunderstorms and Hurricanes). There is no homework this weekend. Have a good weekend and get outside to enjoy the nice weather the high pressure system that is over us right now is bringing us (Cool and Dry). Please use the following Severe Weather Webquest links to complete your webquest activity: Thunderstorm information: http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/thunderstorm/ Thunderstorm information: https://www.nssl.noaa.gov/education/svrwx101/thunderstorms/ Lightning information: https://www.nssl.noaa.gov/education/svrwx101/lightning/ Lightning safety: http://www.lightningsafety.noaa.gov/safety.shtml Tornado and hurricane information & animation: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/5328524.stm Tornado information: https://www.nssl.noaa.gov/education/svrwx101/tornadoes/ Tornado safety and scale: http://skydiary.com/kids/tornadoes.html Hurricane information: http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/hurricane/index.shtml Hurricane safety and scale: http://skydiary.com/kids/hurricanes.html **After your research please view the following Brainpop videos on tornadoes, Thunderstorms, and hurricanes. Please take the quiz and record your scores for each quiz above the column on your compare and contrast chart for that particular weather system. The username and password for BrainPop is on the whiteboard.
