[0] 8 [1] · Relate how tornadoes evolve from thunderstorms · Describe the motion of a tornado Describe the formation of a hurricane · Explain how a hurricane moves and weakens · Compare and contrast tornadoes and hurricanes [2] Hook · Show video clips of tornadoes and hurricanes from computer Teach · In groups of four, two students are assigned reading on tornadoes and the other two on hurricanes. Students summarize the conditions that lead to the formation of tornadoes or hurricanes individually (to be handed in as well). · Those who read the same thing get together to discuss · Then those who read tornadoes teach those who read hurricanes and vice versa. · Together as a group of four, they summarize the information by identifying similarities and differences in the formation of these severe storms. Homework · Culminating activity for the Daily Weather Log – students analyze their weather data from the past 8 days. The analysis should include a graph of atmospheric pressure versus day (could be done on computer). In addition, students should look for correlations between moods, atmospheric pressure, and weather conditions. This is due in Lesson 10. [3] Modified jigsaw (comprehension, analytical thinking and cooperation skills) [5] Math and technology– Daily Weather Log culminating activity [4]
