It’s day 2 of Hurricane Sandy, the storm has hit land and the flooding is severe.  Help explain the natural phenomenon with today’s featured movie: Floods on BrainPOP and Fast Land Changes on BrainPOP Jr.  Flooding, Hurricanes, Heavy Wind, and all Natural Disasters can be scary for students (and teachers too!) This fear often leads to questions about why these things happen.  BrainPOP animations can help answer some of those questions by explaining the science behind these complex weather conditions, and providing direction for how to keep yourself safe.  On BrainPOP Jr., we are featuring Fast Land Changes Knowledge can be reassuring for everyone.

As Hurricane Sandy approaches the East Coast, people are busy preparing for the epic storm!  Need help explaining to students exactly what’s going on out there? BrainPOP is acknowledging the need for clear explanations by featuring both our Hurricanes and Natural Disasters movies on this historic day.   In addition to visually explaining the natural phenomenon of the hurricane, these featured movies also define all those tricky phrases, like “low pressure system” and “tropical depression” that the meteorolgists keeps using!   We hope you keep safe through this storm, and that today’s featured movie help you explain the origins of this extreme weather to your students.
