Description
This extreme weather and natural disasters research unit is perfect for students who are learning how to use informational text and studying weather and natural disasters. It is perfect for a natural disasters and extreme weather research project. Students can conduct traditional book and/or internet research.
This unit is great for many types of instruction! It is a printable AND Google Slides bundle!
Students will first learn how to use the text features in informational text including the table of contents and index. They will also learn how to find credible sources on the internet. Then, students will be assigned a type of extreme weather or natural disaster to research (and optionally, a partner or group to work with). Students will have a Extreme Weather and Natural Disasters Research Journal that they will use as a guide as they research about weather and natural disasters in general as well as their assigned type. Editable sections have been added to the research journals so you may add your own questions!
Once students have completed their research, they will use it to complete two culminating activities: a report/presentation and a poster. Finally, other classes and parents will be invited to the "Extreme Weather and Natural Disasters Fair" where your students can show off their posters!
