OBJECTIVE: Locate tornado alley. Pick up worksheet from front table INTRO: Weekly WS #27 – Which state do you think has the most tornadoes every year? OUTRO: – After completing the project, what part of the country receives the most tornadoes?

Tornado Alley PROJECT 1.Write the # of tornadoes in each state 2.Copy the key onto the corner of the map 3.Choose a color for each category of tornadoes 4.Color each state 5.Circle the states that are part of Tornado Alley

Tornado Alley Location: Great Plains of Midwest US. Very flat land makes it easy for tornadoes to develop Warm air from Gulf of Mexico mixes with cold air from Canada, creating tornadoes Tornadoes can occur ANYWHERE!!!
