Hello little ones!

Your assignment for the next two days is below. You have to create a google slides. Then, you have to share it with csrirama@cps.edu for your grade. It is worth 100 points. You are working INDIVIDUALLY. 

Severe Weather Research Project

You work for a homeowners’ insurance company and have been given the task to inform your customers of the hazards of severe weather events.  You will research one of four types of severe weather: hurricanes, tornadoes, thunderstorms or blizzards and produce an informative booklet to give to customers.  Use the following instructions to guide you in completing your project.

YOU WILL BE CREATING A GOOGLE SLIDES PRESENTATION WITH 8 PAGES/SLIDES.

1.     Slide 1

a.     Include your severe weather title (for example: Tornadoes)

b.     Include your name, class period, and date

c.     Include one graphic, sketch or photo portraying your type of severe weather

d.     Include the definition of your type of severe weather.

2.     Slide 2

a.     Include the title “Weather Conditions During the Storm”

b.     Name and describe weather conditions that one can expect when your storm occurs.

c.     Include at least 2 graphics, sketches, or photos to help explain

3.     Slide 3

a.     Include the title “Causes”

b.     Describe the weather conditions necessary for your severe weather to occur.

c.     Include at least 2 graphics, sketches, or photos to help with explanation.

4.     Slide 4

a.     Include the title “Location and Timing”

b.     Explain where this severe weather is likely to occur in the US.  Why does it occur in this location?

c.     Explain during which season this severe weather is likely to occur.   Why does it occur during this season?

d.     Include a US map that shows the areas where your severe weather typically occurs.

5.     Slide 5

a.     Include the title “Safety Precautions”

b.     Include statistics pertaining to the dangers of the storm.

c.     List 5 survival tips (ways to avoid or minimize harm from your severe weather)

6.     Slide 6

a.     Include the title “Severity of the Storm”

b.     What does it mean when a watch is issued for this type of storm?

c.     What does it mean when a warning is issued for this type of storm?

d.     Explain the system/scale that is used to describe the severity of your storm.

7.     Slide 7

a.     Include the title of a specific example of your severe weather that occurred in the U.S. (for example: Hurricane Katrina) *Note- for thunderstorms you can look for famous lightning strikes as well*

b.     Include the date and location of your specific example.

c.     Include 5 facts about your specific example.

d.     Include at least 2 photos showing your specific example.

8.     Slide 8

a.     Include the title “Bibliography”

b.     You must use at least three sources to complete this project.

c.     Cite ALL sources you use.

Any work that is not complete tomorrow wand Friday must be completed over spring break. I hope you have a great break and I will see you when we all return.

All Classes, 4.1.19 Work

Task 1:

Article + Questions

1. Read article (pg. 1-3)
2. Answer questions on pg.4 in FULL SENTENCES inside notebook. If you don't have your notebook, I would suggest checking the front table. There were a lot left behind.

Task 2:
3. When finished with task 1, visit the website here and pick another mosquito-born illness. Answer the following questions about that illness in your notebook.

Questions:
1. what is the name of your mosquito-born illness?
2. What are some symptoms of this illness?
3. How does it spread?
4. Where can outbreaks occur?
5. What is the treatment for this disease?
6. Is there an effective treatment for this disease?
7. Is there anything we can do to prevent the disease from spreading?
8. What countries are most affected by this disease?
9. How many people die from this disease each year?
10. What's one question you still have about your mosquito-born illness

Discussion & Conclusion

discussions:

DiscussionWhat does it mean?This section explains your results. That is , why are the results the way they are? Identify and discuss anomalous or unexpected results. Relate your findings to the general body of knowledge that you provided in the introduction. State your conclusions as clearly as possible. Summarize your evidence to support each conclusion and discuss the significance of the results. What is generally believed to have caused the results you have obtained? If your results are not what are expected, provide alternative hypotheses to explain them. Do your results show any discrepancies with accepted knowledge? If you suspect any errors contributed to the results, discuss the sources of error in this section. How would you improve the experiments (other than the obvious-use more subjects, take more time, and hire professionals to do the job)? Given the results do any follow-up experiments seem obvious? Remember a continuation of this project could be appropriate for future projects.

conclusions: 

• Summarize your science fair project results in a few sentences and use this summary to support your conclusion. Include key facts from your background research to help explain your results as needed.
• State whether your results support or contradict your hypothesis. (Engineering & programming projects should state whether they met their design criteria.)
• If appropriate, state the relationship between the independent and dependent variable.
• Summarize and evaluate your experimental procedure, making comments about its success and effectiveness.
• Suggest changes in the experimental procedure (or design) and/or possibilities for further study.
