Extreme Weather Events
Know about extreme weather events — hurricanes (spinning storms over warm ocean), tornadoes (violent rotating columns of air), floods, droughts, and blizzards — how they form, where they typically occur, and their effects on people and the environment

Teaching Table
Set out your lesson
Practise the bounded task in Extreme Weather Events; see exact limits before inferring broader coverage.
Distinguish air, water and land; describe cause and effect.
Exact directed source edges retained; earlier authorship is not learner attainment.
These supplied stage cards
Scrap paper and pencil; oral/pointing response where appropriate
Read readiness and decide on support without treating prerequisite authoring as learner readiness.
Open Show first and explain its model.
Use Guided Try with support and its separate adult key.
Close Show and guided keys before Try, unless this Try is explicitly supported.
Reflect on an actual attempt, including help used.
Use the supplied screen cards; copying the exact task to paper is optional, not required.
Use only invented scenarios and optional anonymous local notes. Do not request names, photos, family finances, medical data, accounts or uploads. Stop uncomfortable physical activity.
Use only invented scenarios and optional anonymous local notes. Do not request names, photos, family finances, medical data, accounts or uploads. Stop uncomfortable physical activity.
Use the complete materials on screen or print only the current sheet. Keep adult guidance out of learner view. Retain an earlier model only when the current step supplies it as context.
Teaching limits and safe use
These are finite task opportunities, not proof of mastery. Record what was attempted and what support was used.
Tornado formation/geography, drought and blizzard mechanisms are not taught. No emergency-planning or weather-prediction competence assessed.
Use only invented scenarios and optional anonymous local notes. Do not request names, photos, family finances, medical data, accounts or uploads. Stop uncomfortable physical activity.

Check understanding
- Describe how at least two types of extreme weather form
- Explain where hurricanes and tornadoes typically occur and why
- Describe the effects of extreme weather on communities and landscapes
“If your child saw news about a hurricane, could they explain how it forms over warm ocean water, why it spins, and what makes it so destructive when it reaches land?”
