1.1 Information Problem--Summary of Project
====**This is a group project where we choose a topic and research about it and then make 10 questions and a glog with links to websites we used. Our group chose tornadoes. Everyone will also have to make a scratch animation.Our group includes Ashley, Jacqueline, Kai-Kai, Zachary, and David.**====

1.2 Information Needed - 10 Questions
 Why are there so many different kinds of tornadoes around this world? There are many kinds of tornadoes in the world because there are multiple places, winds, and temperatures. Why are tornadoes most likely to occur around 3pm and 9pm? There are many kinds of tornadoes in the world because there are multiple places, winds, and temperatures. Why are tornadoes called the worlds most violent storms? In some places, tornadoes are called the world's most violent storms maybe because that's the only storm that these people ever experienced. Why do people look for to identify likely conditions for tornadoes? People look for signs of an tornado so they can prepare in advance. Why do people use the Fujita scale to measure tornadoes? People use the Fujita scale to measure tornadoes so they can measure how dangerous the tornado. Why are tornadoes often have dust and debris around them? Tornadoes often have dust or debris around them because when an tornado is born it quickly picks up all the dust and debris. ===Why do tornadoes usually form in the spring? ===  Tornadoes form in the spring because that's the time when cold and warm air collide together, generating tornadoes. ===Why do people think areas near rivers, mountains, and lakes are safe from tornadoes? ===  People think that areas near mountains, rivers, and lakes are safer because generally tornadoes form with more warm air, and since spring is the start of summer, and since these areas are much more colder, they'll be safe. ===Why is there a myth that opening windows will equalize pressure and minimize damages during tornado strikes? ===  People think opening windows will cause an tornado to cause less damage because it seems that instead of blowing the glass shards to pieces, the tornadoes will rampage right through. ===<span style="font-size: 1.1em; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 5px;">Why is a tornado's life short? === **An tornadoes life may be short because for all its life it can cause enormous damage.**

3.2 Information Within Sources
tip: LS= Locate Sources LS1. An wedge tornado is not funnel shaped, but can easily cause massive destructions. They might not be stronger, but they cover much more ground. An half-funnel-half-dirt tornado has condensation that never made it to the ground. More typical in the western states, this massive tornado causes more damage when further away from the ground. When ending an life cycle, many tornadoes enter the rope or string stage, in which may look like an contorted funnel that strongly resembles an string. Gradually, the string starts to break apart. When in the string stage, the tornado is highly dangerous. LS2. Tornadoes are commonly found in the east of the Rocky Mountains during the spring and the summer. In an average year, about 800 tornadoes are reported nationwide. Tornadoes repeat in an pattern, and often accompany thunderstorms. Tornadoes may be transparent at first, picking up dust and debris along the way, and occasionally two tornadoes may form in the same time. LS3.Tornadoes can top over 300 miles per hour. They can occur almost anywhere over the world. Tornadoes can form many times in the year, but occurs most in the spring, when bouth warm air and cold air clash together. Since scientists don't know how tornadoes form, but they have an general idea on the ingrediants. Tornadoes form out of many types of stroms, but often the supercell, which is an storm that has an area of rotation within the storm called an mesocyclone, which spawns the tornado. The storm can spin when winds at various levels come to various directions. If the winds are correct, it can create an strong tornado foundation. An tornado is only an tornado when in contact with the ground. LS4. An tornado is an persistant rotating column of wind from an thunderstorm and into the ground. Their damage pathes can be in excess of one mile or 50 miles long. When an tornado is not touching an ground, then it's an funnel cloud. An supercell thunderstorm is a long-lived thunderstorm that often generates tornadoes. LS5. At the bottom of an thunderstorm, fast winds mix with slowinds, and generates an tube of air. When it tube tilts, it is an funnel cloud.

Added Bonus: Fujita Scale: __scale wind speed possible damage enhanced, operational Fujita Scale__ F0 40-72 mph really light damage 65-85 mph broken branches minor roof damage F1 73-112 mph moderate damage 85-110 mph mobile homes damage snapped trees roofs damaged F2 113-157 mph considerable damage 111-135 mph demolished mobile homes crashed trees strong homes unroofed F3 158-206 mph severe damage 136-165 overturned trains lifted cars strong homes outside walls blown away. F4 207-260mph awful damage 166-200 houses leveled cars thrown 300 yards or more F5 261-318 devestating damage over 200 strong homes blown away missels generated.

4.1 Engage
1. There are many kinds of tornadoes in the world because there are multiple places, winds, and tempatures. 2. Many tornadoes occur around 3pm and 6pm may because of the tempature and winds at that time. 3.In some places, tornadoes are called the world's most violent storms maybe because that's the only storm that these people ever experienced. 4. People look for signs of an tornado so they can prepare in advance. 5. People use the Fujita scale to measure tornadoes so they can measure how dangerous the tornado. 6. Tornadoes often have dust or debris around them because when an tornado is born it quickly picks up all the dust and debris. 7. Tornadoes form in the spring because that's the time when cold and warm air collide together, generating tornadoes. 8. People think that areas near mountains, rivers, and lakes are safer because generally tornadoes form with more warm air, and since spring is the start of summer, and since these areas are much more colder, they'll be safe. 9. People think opening windows will cause an tornado to cause less damage because it seems that instead of blowing the glass shards to pieces, the tornadoes will rampage right through. 10. An tornadoes life may be short because for all its life it can cause enormous damage. 11. Tornadoes are only tornadoes when they touch the ground. 12. An wedge tornado is not funnel-shaped, but it causes more destruction.
