Description:
ETE encourages students to collaborate to solve real-world problems dealing with modern environmental challenges. For each module students read background information and learn about their situation before they solve a problem. Read teacher pages before beginning.

In this module, student weather teams review the action of Hurricane Andrew (1992) in preparation for tracking, analyzing, and predicting the course of a new hurricane that may threaten North America this school year.
