Comment on this resource
In this lesson students will build on knowledge gained in the Hurricane Research lesson and the Hurricane Frequency and Intensity Lesson. Specifically, they will discuss the interaction (pathway) between a specific 'sphere' and the 'event' (hurricane). Working in groups, students will be assigned a specific sphere to look at more closely in relation to hurricanes. When all groups are finished, each will present their findings to the class for comparison and a closer look. If the group is assigned the Hydrosphere they will be looking at the oceans in the Live Access Server (LAS), if the group is assigned the Lithosphere the group will be looking at the Land Surface in the LAS, if the group is assigned the Biosphere they will be looking at the Biosphere in the LAS and the group that is assigned the Atmosphere will be looking at the Atmosphere in the LAS.
