DESIGNING FLOOD SOLUTIONS

We have been studying all about natural hazards. Volcanoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis and floods are among the events we explored. The essential question for the unit is:

•  How are people and property affected by natural disasters?

To wrap up this unit, the students were asked to design solutions to floods. They worked in teams to design, plan, test, observe and record results. Every team was able to put what they learned about natural hazards into practice. The teams were able to successfully protect the homes in the flood path.
