  1. Hurricanes Lesson Global Precipitation Measurement Mission Developed by the GPM Education and Public Outreach Team NASA Goddard Space Flight Center

  2. Engage: Water Activator: How is water helpful to humans? How is water harmful to humans?

  3. Engage: Natural Hazards Natural Hazards What are some natural hazards?

  4. Engage: Video Too Much, Too Little http://pmm.nasa.gov/education/videos/gpm-too-much-too-little

  5. Explore: Measuring Rainfall How do we measure rainfall?

  6. Explore: Rain Gauges How many rain gauges are out there? http://gpm.nasa.gov/education/videos/worldwide-rain-gauges-animation

  8. Explain: August SST Average Sea Surface Temperatures for August

  9. Explain: SST August versus February SST 1 - August SST 2 - February

  10. Explore: Dangers of Hurricanes What are some dangers posed by hurricanes and the heavy rainfall they bring?

  11. Explore: Storm Threats “Shepherd said that the event will bring significant rains and inland freshwater flooding… [which is] often the deadliest threat from tropical systems.” http://www.nasa.gov/vision/earth/lookingatearth/shepherd_bio.html NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center (2012, October 26). Hurricane Sandy looks as 'Frankenstorm' approaching U.S. East Coast. ScienceDaily.

  12. Explore: Hurricane Katrina Hurricane Katrina – 2005 http://www.history.com/topics/hurricane-katrina/videos#hurricane-katrina

  13. Explore: Tools to Study Precipitation What tool do Earth scientists use to gather great amounts of data about global precipitation? Satellites NASA TRMM NASA GPM http://pmm.nasa.gov/node/287 http://pmm.nasa.gov/

  14. Explain: Hurricanes Beyond the Tropics GPM: Hurricanes Beyond the Tropics http://pmm.nasa.gov/education/videos/gpm-hurricanes-beyond-tropics

  15. Explain: Data from GPM How can data gathered by this mission be useful to those who have to decide on the actions citizens should take before a big storm hits?

  16. Explain: Costliest Hurricanes Hurricane Katrina (2005) was the costliest hurricane to hit the U.S. – $133,800,000,000!!!

  17. Explain: Deadliest Hurricanes Why do think the storms in the late 1800s and early 1900s were so deadly?

  18. Explain: Comparing Rainfall Data Rainfall Data Image 1 Soulik Rainfall Data Image 2 Dorian

  19. Evaluate: Which storm is more dangerous? Sea Surface Temperature Storm B Storm A

  20. Extend: Hot Towers “Towers in the Tempest” http://gpm.nasa.gov/education/videos/towers-tempest

  21. Extend: Comparing Storm Intensity Comparing the Hot Towers of Two Storms Which of these storms is likely be the most intense? Hurricane Henriette Typhoon Talim http://pmm.nasa.gov/mission-updates/trmm-news/hurricane-henriette http://pmm.nasa.gov/mission-updates/trmm-news/tropical-storm-talims-heavy-rainfall-over-taiwan
