In this one-time course, students will learn all about tornadoes. This is a very basic meteorology class, that will focus on the introduction to tornadoes. Students will learn the difference between a tornado watch and a warning and what to do when one is issued. We will discuss how tornadoes are formed and the Enhanced Fujita scale rating system. Students will also learn what storm spotters look for when trying to identify a tornado. This will be a lecture-based class, with student output and participation encouraged, but not required. No prior knowledge is needed for this course. I will be using a slide show with photos and short video clips to keep the students engaged during the lesson. See you soon! Mrs. Cristina

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary
Hi! My name is Cristina and I am an Astronomy and Meteorology teacher. I have been an educator for over a decade, having earned a Bachelor's degree in Christian Ministry with a minor in Psychology and Counseling. I am a certified severe storm spotter for both the National Weather Service and the Spotter Network, and am proud to be a NASA Social alumni. Additionally, I serve as a Solar System Ambassador for NASA/JPL, allowing me to share the latest astronomy events with my community.
In my role as a science communicator, I've had the honor of sharing space-related updates for numerous years, affording me the opportunity to distribute information about space across various social media platforms. Additionally, I was selected by Lockheed Martin as a space influencer for the OSIRIS-REx asteroid mission. These experiences have not only enriched my understanding of current space developments but also enabled me to impart this knowledge within my Outschool classes.
Science, particularly Meteorology and Astronomy, have always been a passion of mine and I strive to make learning about it enjoyable for students.
When I'm not teaching, I enjoy reading books, playing the piano, solving jigsaw puzzles, and baking cookies. I look forward to teaching your learner in the classroom!
