Use this site to explore how engineers and architects are able to create tornado-proof designs for houses and other buildings.

Students will learn about tornadoes, the damage they cause, and how to rate tornadoes. Specifically, students will investigate the Fujita Damage Scale of tornado intensity, and use it to complete a mock engineering analysis of damage...

This activity will introduce you to the Fujita scale for rating tornado strength. You will then put your knowledge to use by observing photographs of tornado damage and assigning them a rating.
