The tsunami in Japan. The floods in Joplin. The tornadoes in Tuscaloosa. This year alone, we’ve been bombarded by news and images of natural disasters, and our Spotlight: Natural Disasters is more timely than ever. Help kids understand topics like Avalanches, Earthquakes, Floods, Hurricanes, Tornadoes, Tsunami, Volcanoes, and more. K-3 topics include Fast Land Changes. Interactive whiteboard users, work our Hurricane flipchart into your lesson. Or, take advantage of a natural disaster-themed lesson plan and the Natural Disasters unit Dr. Kari Stubbs, PhD, presented at NECC 2009 (now known as ISTE).
