Mrs. Williams' science class is studying weather and weather disasters like flooding, hurricanes, tornadoes, thunderstorms, and lightning. For a class project, students must research the causes and formation of severe weather, associated dangers, and recommended precautions using resources from the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory, National Hurricane Center, NOAA Photo Library, and Twister: The Tornado Story websites. Additional resources include the National Severe Storms Laboratory, Storm Prediction Center, Federal Emergency Management Agency, and The Weather Channel.

The Weather In class, we have been studying the weather and wether disasters. Flooding, hurricanes, tornadoes, thunderstorms, and lightning can affect our homes, our safety, and the food we eat. We have also explored the science of weather forecasting. For this project, you are to gather information from the resources below regarding the following topics:
• The cause/ formation fo severe weather conditions
• The dangers associated with each • Precautions that should be taken
Use the following Web resources to assist you with your research.
• Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological
Laboratory- learn more about hurricanes from this national site. • The National Hurricane Center- The National Weather Center provides a great deal of information at this site about the current storm season, tracking information, and weather outlooks. Be sure to spend some time here. • NOAA Photo Library- Tornadoes- Explore images of tornadoes presented here. Look for similarities and differenced between the storm systems. • Twister: The Tornado Story- Learn more about tornadoes and the damage they can cause from this interactive site.
