Extreme Weather:

Forces of Nature

Hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, heatwaves, and wildfires—extreme weather is unpredictable, powerful, and life-changing. This project explores how these forces of nature shape our world, from the strongest storms in history to the science behind their formation. Through real-life stories, scientific explanations, and engaging visuals, you will gain a deeper understanding of how extreme weather works and why it is so important to be prepared.

Explore the science behind these events, learn about historic disasters and their lasting effects, listen to a podcast about Hurricane Katrina, experience how tornadoes form through a fun short storybook, and discover essential preparedness tips to stay safe.
