Prepare
Print out Hailstorm Images. This is optional as images are in the slides. Although it would be easier to see if each pair of students had a copy.
Assign each pair one hailstorm case. With 6 copies of each case, you can support up to 21 pairs. Distribute the 7 cases across the class, using each case multiple times. Be sure each student receives their own copy to insert into their notebook. Each student will have 2 pages for their case.
Title one chart paper “Fort Scott Weather Conditions.”
Place two chart papers together and make a table: 8 rows for states and 8 columns for Hailstorm Weather Conditions (see example below). Be sure to leave the data section blank. teria and con
