Thunderstorms by Jack and Cameron

WALT: Summarise information using key words

In Room 11 we have been learning about summarizing. This will help us with research.
We read a book about thunderstorms. We would read a page with at least 50 words and look for some key words. We then turned them into sentences and then paragraphs.
Here is some information summarised by Jack and Cameron.

50,000 thunderstorms develop like puffy clouds every day and travel at great speeds.
You can find hail bigger than some thing 2 cm wide and wind up to 90 kilometer per hour.
Thunderstorms are tracked using a radar. Meteorologist look for storms forming as far away as 400 kilometers away.

Thunder storms begin as cumulonimbus clouds that are made out of warm and cold fronts. They can go ten kilometers in the air.
