Nature's Fury...

Our Lego Robotics Team continues to learn about Nature's Fury!

Our current study of severe weather brought the crew
over to our house for a 'Storm Chaser' viewing party.

1) Before our gathering, I asked each team member to work through an online learning component. Click on the edcanvas icon to view the program.

2) Next, we made tornadoes of our own! This may seem like a quick, fun trick with soda-pop bottles... but when you combine this activity with the integration of tornado vocab  and probing questions - it leads to incredibly interesting discussion!

3) After moving indoors, we skimmed a few new books to learn about storm chasers and their dangerous work. After sharing what we learned, we talked about the pros and cons of these undertakings. Would you want to ride along? What scientific data can they gain that will help us prepare, stay safe and rebuild after a tornado?

4) Finally, we watched Episode 1 of Storm Chasers from Discovery Channel, followed by a quick clip from Mythbusters!
