In this fun, severe weather class, we will learn everything about tornadoes. This class will meet once a week for three weeks. We will learn the basics of tornadoes, the different types and how tornadoes are detected and forecasted. I will be using visuals through a slide show (photos & videos) to help keep the learners engaged and to help reinforce what I'm teaching. I encourage student output and discussion, but it is not required. They can speak as much or as little as they would like. 

Here is the schedule:
Class 1: Tornado Basics - In this lesson we will learn the basics of a tornado, what the difference is between a watch/warning and how to rate a tornado using the "Enhanced Fujita Scale." 
Class 2: Types of Tornadoes - In this lesson we will learn the different stages of a tornado, and the different types.
Class 3: Tornado Detection and Forecasting - In this lesson we will learn how tornadoes are detected and the forecasting that takes place using radars and computer forecast models. 

A basic knowledge of weather is recommended.

Metas de aprendizaje

My goal is for learners to finish the class knowing the basics about tornadoes.

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.

A fun fact about me: I can solve a Rubik's cube in under 90 seconds. In my free time, I enjoy reading and baking cookies. I look forward to teaching your learner in the classroom!
