Hurricane Timeline

Students examine the six stages of hurricane development and place them in the correct chronological order. They read scrambled stage descriptions and number them from the earliest to the final stage, promoting understanding of how storms grow from small disturbances to full hurricanes. Learners then explain each stage in their own words, reinforcing comprehension through writing. The bonus question encourages them to think critically about why hurricanes weaken over land. This activity builds sequencing skills and deepens knowledge of storm formation processes.
