Tornadoes
I navigated all around about.com looking up tornado occurrences in my state. I clicked on simple data for my 2nd graders to be able to understand. I created graphs based on number of occurrences, locations, dates and temperature. I collected data from the coastal zone, the midlands and the piedmont sections of our state. Students are fascinated by tornadoes. They would enjoy navigating this site to learn more about tornadoes. We also live in an area that is affected by hurricanes. That could be another topic that my students would love to explore and learn about. There are a lot of great sites that students could investigate to learn about natural disasters such as tornadoes and hurricanes.

I'm teaching first grade right now, but I had been teaching 2nd grade for the past 5 years. My students always loved learning about tornadoes and other severe weather. In the past I have had them make flip books to show the damage that can happen. They loved it.
