Description
This resource is an introduction to natural disasters. It contains five informational reading passages about natural disasters. It was made for the NGSS 3-ESS3-1 and 4-ESS3-2 Earth and Human Activity Standards. It covers the following
natural disasters:
Earthquakes
Floods
Hurricanes
Tornadoes
Volcanoes
The passages were written with third graders in mind, but the information is very interesting and complex and would be useful for upper grades as well.
There is a tips sheet for teachers and two recording sheetsfor students. One recording sheet is a graphic organizer for students to fill in as they read. The other one asks them to draw and label the natural disaster they have studied.
These are great to use with the whole class, in small groups, with partners, and even at centers!
There is a bonus mini-poster on natural disasters as well.
