Station Models Video

2nd 9 Weeks Project

 The 2nd Nine Weeks Project has been posted on the homework section of my class webpage. 

***Please note that the project form states that the forecast cannot be copied and pasted from a weather website onto the final project. I did this in my example below for the sake of time. Students can use the information from the official weather forecast to draw their own forecast or create a table on Microsoft Word or PowerPoint. 

Monday Night Homework

Select a severe weather type from today's lesson (thunderstorms, blizzards, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, etc.) and research at least 5 safety tips we should know in order to be prepared. Bring these tips to class tomorrow so we can create weather safety posters.

Below are some resources you can use to find your tips.
