Natural Disaster Research Project

Here's the deal: You FINALLY get to pick the natural disaster of the choice. Research it and answer the following questions.

1. When did it happen?
2. What caused it? (plate tectonics, supercell thunderstorm, tropical depression, etc)
3. What areas were affected?
4. A timeline of the events
5. How many people were affected by it
6. Any lessons learned or myths busted by the storm?
7. How long did the recovery take?

Remember that the internet is full of fake photos and accounts. Try to stick to facts only. Here are an example of myths:

1. Earthquakes only happen near mountains
2. Tsunamis are a single wave.
3. Volcano eruptions only affect the area nearby
4. The storm surge is the most dangerous part of a hurricane
5. The eye marks the end of the hurricane
6. A tornado always moves from Southwest to Northeast
7. Tornadoes never hit downtown areas
8. Floods are safe to drive through if only knee high or lower
9. High flood waters are the only dangerous part of a flood
10. Earthquakes are over after the shaking stops

Plate Tectonics!

Use these words to create a presentation in order to warn people about the hazards of living in or near the Ring of Fire.

Pangea
Lithosphere
Tectonic Plates
Convergent Plate
Divergent Plate
Continent
Plate Boundary
Ring Of Fire
Volcano
Earthquake
Tsunami
Crust
Continental Drift

Use the technology and form groups of no more than 3.

FIfth Grade

Imagine you went back to the beginning of the year knowing what you know now. What would you tell yourself to do in order to be successful in fifth grade? What would you do differently? What were the hardest things you had to learn? Come up with a way for you to teach yourself (and others) how you mastered that skill. Include recommendations for the fourth graders.
