This lesson could be linked to a broader study of the effects of wind and water on land formation. It is already linked to the study of the effects of geography on weather and this topic could be expanded. Have student groups make a topographic relief diorama of an area of the world whose geography effects weather. Write how they think weather is effected. Politics Disasters associated with bad weather such as hurricanes, blizzards and flooding are responded to by FEMA and other organizations.
Literature Look for literature on all levels that link to weather topics.
