Climate Change

Purpose: Understanding historical climate change and its impact on hurricanes.  

Task: You will learn about climate change through partnered research.
Both of you will use the internet to find out why the climate is changing and how it has effected the hurricane season. Acess the Hot List of websites below to begin exploring!

Your teacher will then lead a discussion on this and how the hurricanes will continue to be impacted by climate. Be prepared to answer questions like why is the climate important, what has changed the climate, and do you think hurricanes will continue to get worse?

After you gather information on this, the class will post it on the virtual school server. This information can be shared and compared with other classes.
