Learning About Thunderstorms

Posted by Elece Hollis Feb 18, 2009

Dear Readers, Teachers, and Moms,

Do you enjoy the study of weather, clouds, weather forecasting, and storms? My article about cloud spotting is good for teaching students to recognize the types of clouds and learn how they are formed and what type of weather they bring. Storm watching is a study of the formation of cumulonimbus clouds and the lightning, thunder, rainfall, and winds they produce.

I have also written an article about kids making preparations for storms and the loss of electricity. The article informs them of what supplies should be put away for a storm and what safety precautions should be taken. A storm can be a frightening experience for children, but if they take part in the preparations that fear is lessoned.

I hope you enjoy the activities as much as my students and I have.
