Severe    Weather    Project
Introduction:
The National Weather Service needs your help!  Due to the large number of recent storms and the deaths and destruction associated with them, the National Weather Service would like to create a series of Google Slide Presentations to teach second grade students.  The purpose of your presentation is to inform second grade students about the dangers of these amazing forces of nature, and what to do to be as safe as possible.  A selection of fifth grade students will be chosen by your teacher to go to a second grade classroom and present their project.
​The Task:
Each of you will need to use the given resources to research your assigned severe weather.  Once you gather all the required information, you will prepare a Google Slide Presentation about your type of severe weather.  You must become an expert in your type of weather phenomenon.  You will then present your work to the judge (your wonderful teacher).
