In
this
lesson
students
will
explore
hurricane
frequency
and
intensity,
along
with
the
correlation
to
global
warming.
In
order
for
a
hurricane
to
grow,
warm
water
is
an
absolute
necessity.
So,
if
the
Earth
continues
to
warm,
the
students
will
attempt
to
answer
the
question,
"What
does
it
mean
for
hurricanes
and
their
intensity?"
The
students
will
look
at
past
hurricane
data
by
researching
the
