Now Presenting…..STORMS!

The past two days in science, the students have been working on a storms poster to present to their classmates. We have been getting to the bottom of how, where, and why storms occur.

Students, impress your parents with your knowledge! Explain to them the difference in a funnel cloud and tornado. Maybe you want to tell them why a vortex will shrink horizontally and stretch out vertically. If you loved the talk about hurricanes today, tell your parents about the eye and eye wall of a hurricane. Or really challenge your parents! Do they know the scale we use to measure the intensity of a hurricane? What about a tornado?

Pictures are posted below of group posters and presentations. Enjoy! Thanks for the multitude of comments so far. Keep it up guys. You are making your science teacher proud! :) Tomorrow be ready to go to the lab and find out which heats and cools faster…..soil or water?
