Hurricane

             
Recently,  very destructive hurricanes, Frances, Jeanne, and Ivan hit the coast of Florida and damaged a significant number of homes. Building homes that can better withstand the winds from hurricanes will be a consideration in all future housing construction. Many people  will be building homes in the future on the Florida Atlantic or Gulf Coast. Students can learn NOW how to build and protect homes from hurricane winds. Florida State University Schools Earth/Space students are doing  just that!
 
What did the students get when they combined a leaf blower, construction paper, straws and tape? 

 

Teachers are invited to collaborate with 
Florida State University School science students.
