**// Natural Disaster Unit //** ** Cos: Identify ways to prepare for natural disasters in the United States. **

In this unit, the students will learn about 4 different types of disasters (tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, and winter storms). The students will research how they are formed, where they mostly occur, what season they mostly occur in, and how to survive. The students will create a survival plan and a survival kit.

Week 1- During week 1, the students research tornadoes, read non-fiction books and explored interactive websites. They kept a portfolio of all their work.

This is the cover of the Natural Disaster Portfolio. The students used a file folder and decorated the outside to match the theme







The students research tornadoes, wrote a paper about what they learned about tornadoes, and created a tornado. The students then blabberized their tornadoes. I hope you enjoy. media type="custom" key="2118811" width="87" height="108" This student talked about how tornadoes are formed.
