    Description

    Get ready for hurricane season! All of the materials I am including in this bundled Content Enhancement download are available as individual products sold separately on TpT in The ScienceGiant store. Below is a list of what Ts will receive. Please click on each link to receive a detailed description.

    Question Exploration: What Determines Weather? What determines the weather? This question exploration explains the essential question what are the 3 "ingredients" of weather, the 4 types of severe weather, and how weather is different from climate.

    Concept Compare Frame: Weather Fronts and Air Masses What are weather fronts? This question exploration and concept comparison frame explains the essential question what weather fronts are, the kinds of weather they bring, and the air masses associated with them.

    Concept Compare Frame: Tornado Intensity on the Enhanced Fujita Scale: This Concept Comparison contrasts categories with Enhanced Fujita scale for tornado intensity

    Concept Compare Frame: Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale (Categories 1-5) What is a hurricane? This concept comparison frame explores the causes and characteristics of various severe tropical storms and hurricanes from the movement of air, and associated drop of air pressure.

    Question Exploration: What Methods Are Used to Track Hurricanes? What methods are used to locate and keep track of storms and hurricanes? This question exploration explains latitude and longitude coordinates, and contains a lab activity from NOAA to practice hurricane tracking.

    Question Exploration: What Factors Influence Storm Surge SLOSH?

    What factors could increase the height or level of storm surge at the shoreline? This question exploration explains sea, lake, and overland surges from hurricanes (or SLOSH).

    Concept Comparison: Ocean Motion - Waves, Tides, Tsunami, Currents and Storm Surge: This Concept Comparison contrasts changes of velocity in fluid motion within large bodies of water among waves, tides, tsunami, currents, and storm surge (sea, lake, and overland surges from hurricanes, or SLOSH).

    Find Someone Who - Weather Let your middle and high school students walk and talk as they review about weather and severe weather.

    Standards

    to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
    Follow precisely a multistep procedure when carrying out experiments, taking measurements, or performing technical tasks.
    Analyze the author’s purpose in providing an explanation, describing a procedure, or discussing an experiment in a text.
    Compare and contrast the information gained from experiments, simulations, video, or multimedia sources with that gained from reading a text on the same topic.
    NGSSMS-ESS2-6
    Develop and use a model to describe how unequal heating and rotation of the Earth cause patterns of atmospheric and oceanic circulation that determine regional climates. Emphasis is on how patterns vary by latitude, altitude, and geographic land distribution. Emphasis of atmospheric circulation is on the sunlight-driven latitudinal banding, the Coriolis effect, and resulting prevailing winds; emphasis of ocean circulation is on the transfer of heat by the global ocean convection cycle, which is constrained by the Coriolis effect and the outlines of continents. Examples of models can be diagrams, maps and globes, or digital representations. Assessment does not include the dynamics of the Coriolis effect.
    NGSSMS-ESS2-5
    Collect data to provide evidence for how the motions and complex interactions of air masses result in changes in weather conditions. Emphasis is on how air masses flow from regions of high pressure to low pressure, causing weather (defined by temperature, pressure, humidity, precipitation, and wind) at a fixed location to change over time, and how sudden changes in weather can result when different air masses collide. Emphasis is on how weather can be predicted within probabilistic ranges. Examples of data can be provided to students (such as weather maps, diagrams, and visualizations) or obtained through laboratory experiments (such as with condensation). Assessment does not include recalling the names of cloud types or weather symbols used on weather maps or the reported diagrams from weather stations.
