STORM Project-tornado, hurricane, blizzard, thunderstorm--Open Ended Product Type

(0)
This is a great project for STORMS! Students are handed one of four storms (just photocopy, cut and pass out) and they research the causes/effects, regions affected, storm preparedness, etc. Then, students can use their research to create an infographic (example attached), PowerPoint, Prezi, Booklet, e-Book, Poster, etc. The possibilities are endless, as this is a very open-ended project. Four storms included: Tornado Hurricane Blizzard Thunderstorm Each checklist is 1/2 Sheet. Each graphic organizer is a full page, but students can choose the one that they like the best.

Layers of the Atmosphere Shrinky Dink (Shrink Plastic Not Included)

(0)
Students fill out a chart with information about the layers of the atmosphere, and then they are able to create their own "Shrinky Dink" using shrink plastic (plastic not included). They can either trace the diagram on the left side of the page, or they can draw it from scratch! After they draw it with colored pencils or fine point permanent marker, they can put it in the oven and watch it shrink! (I use a toaster oven in my classroom and do them one at a time, as the kids finish. They love watching them shrink! Shrink plastic best price I have found: School Specialty this Grafix brand: https://store.schoolspecialty.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpItmDspRte.jsp?minisite=10206&item=3185038 I cut the shrink plastic into 1/4's and it works out great!
