Explore Natural Disasters

Have you ever felt the ground beneath your feet move in an earthquake? Have you
ever had to ride out a blizzard at home? Natural Disasters! With 25 Science
Projects for Kids guides kids through a scientific introduction to the
forces behind extreme meteorological events. Earthquakes, volcanoes, storms,
wildfires, and more affect people around the world and appear in the news almost
daily. Plus, climate change adds more fuel to storms, affects water supply, and makes
conditions ripe for wildfires and rising water levels. Learn the science behind why!

Through interactive STEM and STEAM projects that simulate natural disasters and the
science behind them, such as modeling plate tectonics, diagramming atmospheric
conditions, and science journaling, students learn about the mechanics of these
disasters, how to prepare for them, and how to be of service to others experiencing
them.

A focus on conservation will empower students to do their part to help curb climate
change and mitigate the effects of natural disasters.

Readers learn about different kinds of extreme weather including Hurricane Katrina,
flooding in Texas, California wildfires, and the tornadoes that struck southern United
States in 2011.
