Key Questions
SWBAT describe the main kinds of storms, and how they form.
SWBAT explain what measures you take to ensure safety in a storm.
StormA violent disturbance in the atmosphere
ThunderstormA small storm with heavy precipitation and frequent thunder and lightning.
LightningA sudden spark as charges jump between parts of a cloud, or cloud and ground.
TornadoA rapidly whirling, funnel-shaped cloud that reaches down from a storm cloud to touch Earth’s surface.
HurricaneA tropical cyclone that has winds of 119 km/h or higher (about 73 mph)
Storm SurgeA “dome” of water that sweeps across the coast where the hurricane lands.
How Thunderstorms FormThunderstorms form in large cumulonimbus clouds, also known as thunderheads.
Thunderstorm DamageTrees can be uprooted, or areas can be flooded.
Thunderstorm DamageTrees can be uprooted, or areas can be flooded.
Thunderstorm Safety
How Tornadoes FormDifferent wind speeds will create rotation of the cloud. It will tighten and can reach the ground.
Tornado Safety
SnowstormsIf you are caught in a snowstorm, try to find shelter from the wind.

Key Questions
What are the main kinds of storms, and how do they form? Thunderstorms form in large cumulonimbus
clouds. Tornadoes develop in thick cumulonimbus
clouds. Most precipitation begins in clouds as snow.
If the air is colder than 0 degrees Celsius all the way to the ground, the precipitation falls as snow.
