THS Earth/Space Science

In starting our week-long unit on severe weather basics and safety, we started with defining and contrasting the two main types of severe weather alerts:  watches and warnings.  We then discussed the six major types of severe weather:  Floods, Thunderstorms, Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Ice Storms, and Blizzards.  We only went into detail on Flooding today – tomorrow we’ll continue by discussing thunderstorms – next week; tornadoes.

Remember – forecasting packets are due tomorrow and there will be a quiz over that material tomorrow too!
