What's Up With the Weather?
What's Up With the Weather?
Description:
In this lesson students will pretend they're meteorologists who have been asked to give a press report explaining what is to blame for the seemingly strange weather patterns that have afflicted the country in the past few years: floods, hurricanes, blizzards, milder-than-normal winters, etc. They will conduct research in preparation for making a staement to the press about the issue. Then, students will imagine that their family is contemplating a move to California and has asked them to find out what the real risks of living in an earthquake-prone area are. Students will research and write a report informing their family about what they should look for when shopping for a home and deciding which neighborhood to live in.
