Lesson Plan
Audience: 
Informal, Formal, 9 - 12, 6 - 8, General
Summary: 
Students will use various visualizations (i.e. images, charts, and graphs) to explore the energy exchange that occurs when hurricanes extract heat energy from the ocean.

In the Hurricanes as Heat Engines Story Map, students use various visualizations (i.e. images, charts, and graphs) to explore the energy exchange that occurs when hurricanes extract heat energy from the ocean. Using sea surface temperature data, they simulate the conditions that allow hurricanes to form, and observe the effects of hurricanes on the Earth System.
