Bill Nye: Twistin' Tornado
Read the Fine Print
Rating
0.0 stars

This experiment from Bill Nye explains how to make a tornado in a bottle. Students will learn how gravity and air mass work together when creating a tornado contained within 2 bottles. Students will also discover how wind speed increases when colliding with warm air to create real world disasters that are known to be much more intense than hurricanes.

Earth's Meteorological Monsters-Part B: Patterns of Hurricane Movement Part Three of Three
Read the Fine Print
Rating
0.0 stars

Hurricanes move in generally predictable patterns. This part of the investigation focuses on these patterns for hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean. First you'll examine the movie again to see if you can identify the patterns empirically. Then you will try to tie your observations together with information about global wind patterns.

Rating
0.0 stars

In this lesson, students examine global climate model output available online and consider the potential impact of global warming on tropical cyclone initiation and evolution. As a follow-up, students read two short articles on the connection between hurricanes and global warming and discuss these articles in context of what they have learned from model output.

Rating
0.0 stars

In this investigation, students will look at a number of videos, animations, and images in order to gain a better understanding of how hurricanes work. In the first part, students will learn about some of the satellites that researchers use to study and make forecasts about hurricanes. Then students will get a chance to look "under the hood" of a hurricane to see how these storms develop.
