Definition in our own words: A tornado is a humongous top that just keeps spinning for hours. A tornado can break down houses and wreck lots of things. It can pull trees out of the ground. It is safest to stay near the ground during a tornado. Tornadoes can pick things up and drop them in a different place.
Why it is awesome: We think tornado is an awesome science word because tornadoes are very strong and powerful.
Using it in a sentence: A tornado can be so strong that it can pick up a pond full of frogs and drop them in a different location.
