Teaching through Trade Books: Forecasting Hazardous Conditions

For students to know how to prepare for severe weather, they must first understand what types of weather they might experience in their location. Much of students' interactions with and learning about severe weather events will happen through printed text resources and video excerpts. Through the use of such resources, young students can begin to ask questions to learn about different types of weather, whereas older students can start to consider how they can take steps to reduce the impact of severe weather events.
