Look out! Do you see a spinning funnel? That is called a tornado! If you want to be prepared, you will have to learn how tornadoes form so you can run away to safety and protect your family and all your loved ones.
Scientists claim that tornadoes start from winds from different altitudes. One is hot and the other is cold (normal) wind. They will blow at different directions around each other, in a pattern like they are 'chasing' each other. When they get faster, a cloud will appear above them. The wind forms into a funnel shaped cloud for the top of the tornado. The cloud will be powerful enough to grow in size and make a thunderstorm. The funnel starts growing and growing until it lowers and lowers then eventually hits the ground and annihilates anything and everything in its path. Tornadoes can destroy nearly everything like houses, cars, people, infrastructures, plants and animals. But tornadoes do have a short life. Some stay as short as only 3 minutes before losing its force then it starts to calm down.
If you see a tornado coming your way, it is best to run away to protect yourself from nature's wrath!
Learning intention: We are learning to follow the structure of an explanation.
Success criteria: I know I can do this when I write how tornadoes form, how they work and a concluding statement about tornadoes.
