Activities:
- https://betterlesson.com/lesson/resource/3156443/severe-weather-pictures - project - we have done a little research about these storms - now please discuss with your partner what you both know about each of these types of severe weather and come up with at least two questions you and your partner have about these storms. (sample questions:
Watch brief videos of each type of storm to visually see how each impacts our lives.
