  1. NSDL Online Science: Hurricanes Welcome

  2. Goals for This Session • Learn how NSDL can help you find content from trusted resource providers • Examine weather and hurricane basics for an understanding of how scientist study, predict, and track hurricanes. • Discover a wide variety of digital resources and tools you can implement in your classroom teaching

  3. What Will the 2006 Hurricane Season Be Like? Are Hurricanes Predictable?

  4. Hurricanes WEB SEARCH Hurricane Theory by Dr. Ima Fake .com $ Hurricane Mai Tai Recipes 1 of a Gazillion Records

  5. The National Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Education Digital Library (NSDL) The National Science Foundation’s free online library of resources for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics education and research

  6. Why Not Just Use Google? Coordinated Access to Resources from Trusted Providers + Peer-Reviewed Collections + Variety of Interfaces for Discovery + Context + Tools and Services + Community Digital Libraries Offer

  8. What Do You Want Your Students To Do? Learn from a links list Ask a question Create a project Run a simulation Level of Engagement Download a resource Find a website Implement an existing module

  9. NSDL Tool: Instructional Architect Create your own interactive teacher and student web pages http://ia.usu.edu/

  10. Weather Ingredients Air & Water Temperature Pressure Density Earth Rotation & Axis Wind Sun Patterns are just indicators. They fluctuate and are taken on averages

  11. >> Increasing Temperature >> Patterns of Ocean Surface Temperature DLESE Collection: http://profhorn.meteor.wisc.edu/wxwise/hurr/hurr.html

  12. Patterns of Wind Equator DLESE Collection: Coastal Carolina University

  13. Patterns of Pressure & Density Air is more dense Air is less dense DLESE Collection: Weather Talk

  14. Poll Question: What is the primary difference between typhoons, hurricanes, and tropical cyclones?

  15. Hurricane Characteristics DLESE Collection: Data Discovery Hurricane Science Center Location and Movement of Hurricanes are Relatively Consistent

  16. NOAA: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ 35 30 25 20 15 10 95 90 85 80 75 70 65 60 55

  17. Hurricane Characteristics Hurricane Formation DLESE Collection: WW2010 World Weather Project

  18. Hurricane Structure Winds > 74 mph NOAA: National Weather Service

  19. Hurricane Characteristics Summary Air pressure in the eye (High or Low) Air pressure out at the outer edge bands (High or Low)

  20. Hurricane Characteristics Summary

  21. How Do They Monitor These Factors? Satellite Imagery of Hurricane Katrina 8/27 & 8/28/05 DLESE Collection: COMET

  22. Poll Question: You are the forecaster: How do you think the 2006 hurricane season will be?

  23. What Will the 2006 Hurricane Season Be Like? • Annual hurricane frequency varies on a 20-year cycle (long-term forecasting models) • We are in the middle of a high activity cycle • Predictions indicate 2006 will be similar to, but not as severe as, last year • Short-term forecasting will give us a better idea as the season progresses

  24. Models & Simulations DLESE Collection: WW2010 World Weather Project NASA Observatorium

  25. DLESE Weather Unit: http://teachingboxes.org • Essentials of Weather • Plate Tectonics • Seasonal Upwelling • Changing Sea Level • Earthquakes • Mountain Building
