**Name: ** Desiree Corbin **Lesson Title: **The Eye of the Hurricane **Unit:** Hurricanes **Subject Area(s):** Geography, Earth Science, and Reading **Grade Level:** Third Grade

**Time Required:** This lesson is planned over two days, for about two hours each. **PA State Standards: ** 7.4: Interactions Between People and the Environment. 7.4.3. A: Identify the effect of the physical systems on people within a community. 7.4.3. B: Identify the effect of people on the physical systems within a community. **NCSS Themes: ** Time, continuity, and change People, places, and environment <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Science, Technology, and Society

**<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Big Idea: **<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> Geography is used to explain the past, interpret the present, and plan for the future. Knowing how natural disasters affect the environment and communities is a must so we can better prepare to be safe. **<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Essential Questions: ** <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">1. How does the eye of a hurricane affect the environment and communities? <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">2. What happens inside the eye of a hurricane? **<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Learning Objectives: ** __<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Cognitive: __<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> After hearing the read aloud //Hurricane!// The students will discuss in their reading groups what would they would have done if they were caught in the middle of a hurricane, just like the characters within the story.

<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">__Behavioral:__ Students will demonstrate their knowledge by creating their very own “eye” of a hurricane. They will complete the activity __Stir Up a Hurricane__ in pairs, and by completing the hands on activity the students will better understand how the center of the hurricane is created because of the circular motion a hurricane creates. **<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Concept: ** <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">It is important for communities to know what to do in emergency situations to stay safe, and know the effects that hurricanes have on the environment.

**<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Vocabulary Words: ** <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">- Eye <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">- Eye Wall <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">- Hurricane <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">- Category <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">- Tropical Depression <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">- Tropical Storm <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">- Storm surge <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">- Storm Warning <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">- Storm Watch **<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Materials: ** <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">- Book/ //Hurricane!// By Jonathan London Illustrated by Henri Sorensen <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">-( 3 ) Hurricane YouTube videos ( one about hurricanes overall, and another one about Hurricane Katrina <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">- Large bowls <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">- Water <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">- Spoons <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">- Food coloring <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">- Internet hurricane pictures <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">- Hurricane vocabulary sheet <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">- Poster board <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">- Markers <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">- Crayons <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">- Paper to write down observations of Stir Up a Hurricane activity

**<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Anticipatory Set/Introduction: ** <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">1. Read Aloud //Hurricane!// To the class <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">2. As a class discuss what happened throughout the book. <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">3. Student will sit in groups, a flip through the book and discus what they would do if they were stuck in the same situation like the characters in the book. Would it be different, the same and why do you think that way. <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">4. After reading the book the students will watch a YouTube video showing the eye of Hurricane Katrina and a video about understanding the eye of a hurricane. <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">[] <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">[] **<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Procedures: ** <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">1. Have students look at pictures on hurricanes, and ask them to identify the eye in each one. <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">- [] <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">- [] <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">- [] <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">- [] <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">- [] <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">- [] **<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Activity: ** <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">2. Have the students partake in the Stir Up a Hurricane experiment. <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.25in;">- In a large bowl dump water and a couple drops of food coloring. With a spoon have the students spin the water in a circular motion. They should see in the center, the water creates a small circular opening where the water pushes to the sides. <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">3. After they have made their own “hurricanes, “ ask them to answer these questions as they observe: <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">- “Could you see the hurricane’s eye?” “ If, so what was the wind like in the eye?” <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">- “What happened to the hurricane’s clouds as the liquid spiraled around in the bowl?” <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Describe the way they moved. <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">4. As a class discus the students answers to the questions. <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">5. Explain what a storm surge is <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">- Storm surge is caused by wind when is pushes the water rapidly up into a huge wave. This also causes the water level to rise and is the most deadly aspect of the hurricane. It is responsible for 90% of deaths during hurricanes. <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">6. Next, discuss the different category of hurricanes that can make land fall in the United States. <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">- __Category One:__ Winds 74 – 95 mph. Damage is minimal, usually to shrubs, trees, and unanchored mobile homes, Strom surges of 4 to 5 feet above normal. <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">- __Category Two:__ Winds 96 – 110 mph. Considerable damage to trees (blown down).Major damage to roofing materials of buildings, some window and door damage. Storm surges 6 to 8 feet above normal. <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">- __Category Three:__ Winds 111- 130 mph. Extensive damage, large trees blown down, damage to roofing materials. Some structural damage to small buildings. Mobile homes destroyed. Strom surges of 9 to12 feet above normal. <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">- __Category Four:__ Winds 131 – 155 mph. shrubs, trees, and signs blown down. Extreme damage to roofing materials, windows, doors and destruction of mobile homes. Storm surges of 13 to 18 feet above normal. <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">- __Category Five:__ Winds greater than 155 mph. Catastrophic damage to trees, shrubs, roofs and all signs blown down. Extensive shattering of glass in windows and doors. Some complete building failures. Small buildings overturned or blown away. Storm surges greater than 18 feet above normal. <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">6. Explain Tropical Storm and Tropical Depression: <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">- Tropical Depression: This is the stage before a “hurricane” turns into a tropical storm. This system does not have an eye, or the spiral shape. This type of storm is classified as a group of thunderstorms grouped together for a long period of time. Winds reach 23 to 39 mph. <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">- Tropical Storm: This stage before a hurricane is domed the name “hurricane.” It has extremely low wind rotation. The winds speeds within this storm must be between 39 to 73 mph to be classified as such. <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">7. At the end of class have the students turn in their observation response sheets so they can be graded. **<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Conclusion: ** <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">1. Each student will find a partner and begin to do research about hurricanes. <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">2. They will then look up safety tips or information about what to do when caught in a hurricane. <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">3. The students will then create a poster showing information about hurricanes and listing safety tips and information about what to do when caught in a hurricane on the poster. <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">4. When the poster is completed the students will present their poster to the class.

**<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Assessment: ** <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">1. __Assessment One__: as students carry on conversation about the book Hurricane! in their groups, I will walk around making sure all of the groups and their conversations are on task. If the students are off task I will prompted them back on task by asking questions about the book and looking for the correct feedback. <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">2. __Assessment Two:__ When the students are in pairs doing the hands on activity Stir Up a Hurricane, I will be walking around making sure the students are using the materials correctly and staying on task with the conversation. I will also make sure that they are writing down what they are observing while partaking in the experiment. <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">3. __Assessment Three:__ At the end of the Stir Up a Hurricane experiment, the observations that they wrote down during the entire experiment will be handed in for a participation grade to show that they were on task during the whole experiment. <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">4. __Assessment Four:__ I will also be assessing the student’s questions or comments that they have throughout the entire period of partaking in learning about hurricanes. I will take note to see if their questions are on or off topic and if they are not I will prompt them to ask question pertaining to the material being taught at that time. <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">5. __Assessment Five:__ Another assessment will be the Hurricane Vocabulary Worksheet that will be completed at the end of the entire lesson. This will show if the students understood the vocabulary that was presented to them. <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">6. __Assessment Six:__ The last assessment that will be given is the safety poster. Each student will find a partner and will do research about hurricanes and look up safety tips or what to do during a hurricane and create a poster to present to the class. (See the attached rubric for grading).
