Making Thunderstorms 
|
|
Can you help Theo and Bill figure out where these hurricanes will make landfall? Using data from the GOES-16 satellite (previously known as GOES-R) and considering wind vectors, estimate where the hurricane will hit. Hurricanes keep coming, and they're all different, so you have to stay sharp!
|
Can you adjust the atmosphere to make a thunderstorm? Thunderstorms can only happen under certain conditions. What do temperature and humidity need to be like up high and near to the ground to make a storm?
|
|
Students: determine where the hurricane will hit as soon as possible. The faster you guess, the higher your score. But guess wrong and you will lose points, so you need to be sure!
|
Students: determine which settings creates the largest thunderstorm. Remember to record your answer(s).
