The Perfect Storm

After watching a movie with your children or students, we encourage parents and teachers to look for education opportunities to teach with movies. Here are a few discussion topics that can help with lesson plans or teaching in the home.

The best part of this movie is its accompanying website at www.perfectstorm.net The site features an incredible amount of information about how the movie was made, the history of fishing on the East Coast, and how severe storms are born. Make sure you follow the link on the left side called The Storm and then press Storm Science for an exhaustive list of other weather-science websites featuring information about many storms, including the one featured in this movie.
