Target: Hurricane Unit 5th grade

[Picone <rpicone@GARDEN.NET>]

I am assisting a fifth grade science teacher in setting up a unit on
weather, beginning with hurricanes.  I have some great web sites, and know
of some books (reference and picture).  I know there is a book out there,
chapter book, that I could read with them -- can't think of the title.
Would also like to find out if some large coastal city does kits that they
give to schools.  My husband grew up in Florida and told me the Miami
weather station provided all kinds of materials, including tracking maps.
Of course, that was in the dark ages when he was young....  We do a lot of
integration in my small school so I'll take any suggestions you have, for
any discipline.  The art teacher is going to include a lesson on "storm
art," and I'm going to put the fifth grade in charge on weather on our TV
broadcast,  but I need more ideas.  Thanks for all and any!
