Science Readers: Extreme Weather

Extreme Weather is an informational text that explains tornadoes, hurricanes, dust storms, and blizzards, as well as how to prepare for wild weather. A two-page experiment  invites students to explore how a tornado moves. 

The book is divided into sections.  Sentences vary in length and structure. Captioned and labelled photographs, illustrations, maps, diagrams, and charts support the text. Fact boxes add interest.  A table of contents, glossary, and index are provided.

Content-specific terminology is bold faced and included in the glossary.
