Extreme Weather Events Are Further Intensified When Interacting Mechanisms  Are At Odds - Zenger News

It seems like extreme weather is becoming more and more common.  You will become an extreme weather expert by researching and presenting your information to your classmates.  Who knows maybe you will save a life by informing others about extreme weather conditions and how to be prepared and survive!

After you have become experts on your weather event, you will make a google slide presentation of all the information you found on your weather event.  You will then come up with 5 multiple choice questions about your weather event to include at the end of your presentation.  The questions need 4 choices, one can be silly, the other 3 need to be possible answers.
