Teacher Notes: Objective: Students will be to examine characteristics of tornadoes in order to describe the conditions necessary for their formation. Differentiation: All students complete the same class work and assessment.However they are divided into gold and silver stars for reading. Gold stars read the site without any assistance whereas for silver stars the site Time Management Strategies: It is suggested that this activity This activity could also be conducted in groups of two students. Technology Infusion: The students will need to be introduced to drop-down menus and entering the text into the enabled areas. Students should also be familiar with opening hyperlinks in both the documents and in the Power point presentation. The students should also be familiar with tabs (sheets in excel), entering text in boxes, clicking into boxes AVID Strategy: The following AVID strategies are supported in this lesson: inquiry based learning, quick write (reaction and analysis) and use of Costas and Bloom questioning. Learning Styles: Field Dependent, Field independent, Visual and Reflective Learners, Global Understanding Maryland State Curriculum Goal: Standard 3.0 Life Science The students will use scientific skills and processes to explain the dynamic nature of living things, their interactions, and the results from the interactions that occur over time. Indicator 4. Interactions of Hydrosphere and Atmosphere #3: Identify and describe the atmospheric and hydrospheric conditions related to weather systems. Objectives d. Cite features that can be used as evidence to distinguish among the three Identify and describe weather patterns associated with high and low pressure systems and frontal systems. e. Identify and describe the atmospheric and hydrospheric conditions associated with the formation and development of hurricanes, tornadoes, and thunderstorms.
