What educators are saying

These are great research projects for highly motivated learners! They can work on them as they finish expected work!
We used this resource to go along with our PLTW unit over weather. This allows us to incorporate research within our science. Thank you

Description

Severe Weather | Hurricanes, Tornadoes, Blizzards, or Thunderstorms Research Project

This Google Slides digital learning product is the perfect way to implement technology into your classroom. Students will choose from four types of severe weather; tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards and thunderstorms. Students will walk through the Google Slides presentation that prompts them with questions to research- Think of this as "guided research". Students are researching, but are being prompted on what exactly to research. Each slide is complete with boxes to include photographs and easy to type text boxes.

Included in TPT purchase:

  • 15 Research Slides

What are the topics covered?

  • Hurricanes
  • Tornadoes
  • Blizzards
  • Thunderstorms

What are students researching about their type of severe weather?

  • What is the cause of the severe weather? What happens in the atmosphere to create the storm?
  • Where is this severe weather most likely to take place? Why?
  • Do these types of storms take place in other parts of the world? Why or why not?
  • What are the safety precautions you should take when this storm is possible in your area?
  • What is the season of this storm? Why is this storm more likely during this season?
  • How is this storm categorized? What do the categories mean?
  • What are the weather conditions that are possible with this storm? (example, rain, hail, flooding, snow, ice)
  • What does the aftermath or storm damage of this storm look like?
  • Is there a storm that has happened in the past that was extremely rare? Or caused significant damage?
  • What websites or books did you use for your research information? List them here.

Did you know you can receive TPT credits for leaving feedback? How it Works:

Earn TpT Credits for purchases on TpT. You get one TpT Credit for every $ you spend on TpT. Thing is, you only get the Credits after you Provide Feedback -- both a fair rating and a fair comment -- on the items that you purchase. We will round up for you, too! If you provide fair feedback on a $4.75 item, you will earn 5 credits. Every 100 Credits is worth $5 that you can apply towards future TpT purchases, but there is no need to wait until you have 100 to redeem them. 50 credits is worth $2.50, for example.

Standards

NGSS3-ESS2-1
Represent data in tables and graphical displays to describe typical weather conditions expected during a particular season. Examples of data could include average temperature, precipitation, and wind direction. Assessment of graphical displays is limited to pictographs and bar graphs. Assessment does not include climate change.
NGSSMS-ESS2-2
Construct an explanation based on evidence for how geoscience processes have changed Earth’s surface at varying time and spatial scales. Emphasis is on how processes change Earth’s surface at time and spatial scales that can be large (such as slow plate motions or the uplift of large mountain ranges) or small (such as rapid landslides or microscopic geochemical reactions), and how many geoscience processes (such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and meteor impacts) usually behave gradually but are punctuated by catastrophic events. Examples of geoscience processes include surface weathering and deposition by the movements of water, ice, and wind. Emphasis is on geoscience processes that shape local geographic features, where appropriate.
