Get your students thinking critically about wild weather with this Severe Weather Presentation & Guided Notes—a ready-to-use, engaging resource built around the big question: “How do scientists categorize dangerous weather?”
This presentation is packed with the must-know info about extreme weather events like tornadoes, thunderstorms, hurricanes, blizzards, hailstorms, heatwaves, droughts, and floods. Students will also explore how scientists use tools like the Enhanced Fujita (EF) Scale and the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale to measure storm strength, and they’ll learn how climate change is affecting the frequency and intensity of these events.
Safety is a big part of this lesson too—students will learn what to do during severe weather, and the difference between a watch and a warning. It’s the kind of real-world knowledge they’ll carry with them beyond your classroom.
? The 25-minute presentation keeps students focused and involved with guided notes to fill out as they follow along. You’ll wrap up with open-ended questions that encourage meaningful discussion and deeper thinking.
Whether you’re wrapping up a weather unit or diving into Earth science for the first time, this resource helps make severe weather understandable, memorable, and impactful.
