Storms — their origins, paths and destructiveness — are the subject at hand for Wesley, an engaging animated character who is determined to become a member of the Weather Bureau of Investigation (WBI). By witnessing a hurricane, thunderstorm and tornado in person and on his Weather Watch, Wesley understands that similar forces cause all three, but with varying intensity and scope, depending on whether they form over land or sea. With the help of the WBI, Wesley and young viewers get close and personal views of nature at its rawest and most powerful. (02:01)

These before-and-after photos are breathtaking in their views of what a hurricane can do to even the most sturdy structures. There is also a slide that shows the force of the wind as it moved through the area. These could be used in conjunction with a Google Earth photo showing the area's land forms. Students can use these to gain an understanding of elevation as well as a lesson on hurricanes and hurricane preparation.

Video begins with earthquakes and tsunamis, then discusses volcanoes. *Caution: Live footage from natural disasters not suitable for young learners. Images include death and destruction. (47:00)

Powered by the force of gravity, the world's rivers deliver about 20 billion tons of loosened rock and soil to the oceans each year. For the past 100 million years, redeposited sediment has gradually increased the size of the Mississippi River Delta. But over the past several decades, the coast of southern Louisiana has been losing rather than gaining land. These aerial views from NASA, the Lunar and Planetary Institute, and U.S. Geological Survey illustrate how river management practices and severe weather events, including Hurricane Katrina, dramatically changed the size and shape of the Louisiana coastline and the Mississippi River Delta in the 20 years between 1985 and 2005.

Jupiter is the biggest planet in our solar system. The gas giant is NOT a failed star, but a really successful planet! It has a dynamic atmosphere with belts and zones, as well as an enormous red spot that’s actually a persistent hurricane. Jupiter is still warm from its formation, and has an interior that’s mostly metallic hydrogen, and it may not even have a core. (10:44)
