Science
- The Ninth-grade child learned about the formation and development of tropical storms, including the role of warm ocean water and atmospheric conditions.
- They gained an understanding of the potential impacts of tropical storms on coastal areas, such as storm surge, heavy rainfall, and strong winds.

After the activity, the child can continue to develop their understanding of tropical storms by exploring case studies of historic storms and analyzing how different factors contributed to their formation and impact. They can also engage in discussions about the impact of climate change on tropical storm patterns and intensity.
