Empower your students to think like engineers with this hazardous weather solutions graphic organizer. This specialized science writing scaffold helps students research, identify, and evaluate existing technologies and strategies designed to protect people and property from weather-related hazards.
This resource is a perfect companion for lessons on natural disasters, climate readiness, and the engineering design process, making it a "must-have" for 3rd through 6th-grade science classrooms.
Analyze Hazard Mitigation Strategies:
This graphic organizer provides a structured framework for students to investigate solutions for various conditions, such as:
Hurricanes: Evaluating sea walls, storm shutters, and elevated buildings.
Tornadoes: Analyzing the effectiveness of storm shelters and early warning systems.
Floods: Investigating levees, dams, and permeable pavement.
Lightning: Understanding the role of lightning rods and grounding systems.
Why Educators Love This Science Resource:
NGSS Aligned: Specifically supports NGSS 3-ESS3-1, which focuses on evaluating the merit of a design solution that reduces the impacts of weather-related hazards.
Critical Thinking Focus: Goes beyond simple identification by asking students to analyze how a specific solution works to solve a problem.
Research-Ready: Ideal for use during a webquest, a textbook search, or as a summative assessment after a unit on Earth’s systems.
Differentiated Learning: The clear, boxed layout helps students organize their thoughts and evidence, providing excellent support for visual learners and ESL/ELL students.
Build a safer future by helping your students master the concepts of weather protection and safety with this essential science graphic organizer!
Once purchased, you will be directed to an immediate download.
