Storms: hurricanes

Children on a playground use creativity and their imaginations to simulate the many different types of storms found on Earth. From thunderstorms to wind storms, to snow storms and rain storms, to hurricanes and tornadoes, the children conclude that storms are a natural part of Earth trying to stay in balance by smoothing out temperature and moisture. They compare storms in their sizes, locations, strengths and positive and negative impacts on society. The kids share stories on stormy weather and how it's not so scary if you understand it and prepare for it. Meteorologists are credited with giving safety information for where to go and what to do when storms are coming.
