Show the class a photograph of a hurricane taken from outer space. Ask the students to recreate this using paper and cotton. To make the cloud rings of the hurricane, glue the cotton to a blank sheet of paper in a circular formation.
Show pictures of tornadoes and ask the class to paint a picture of a tornado using tempera paint or watercolors. Then ask each student to write a story about tornado safety. Ask him to include what should be done to stay safe during a tornado warning.
Hurricanes form over the ocean and hit on coasts all over the world. Ask students to draw or paint a map of the world and label the places where these natural disasters are likely to come ashore. Use a variety of art supplies such as markers or paints. Discuss how to prepare if a hurricane watch or warning is issued in your area.
