Natural Disasters

Groups of students will create a stable tower with a paper towel roll and other materials. They will test it with the force of a fan on its highest speed. Groups should have time to modify and retest

Students will research a biome around the world, including 3 animals, 3 plants, and 3 nonliving parts of the ecosystem. Students will construct a diorama of the biome and illustrate a natural disaster

The objective of this lesson is to engage students in the practical application of science, engineering, and critical thinking skills to design and create a container that effectively keeps perishable

The students will create an interactive diorama using the Hummingbird Robotics kit on Natural Disasters. The students will choose their Natural Disaster that they want to bring to life, complete a

Students will be researching engineering design features that can be utilized to create buildings that can more effectively withstand the effects of a major earthquake. Students will work within a

In this hands-on lesson, students will use robotics to create an automated system that simulates the cleanup of a natural disaster. In this case, a nuclear reactor explosion. Students will program

The students will work in groups to create a model of a roof that is able to survive a hurricane-like wind. Students learn about disaster preparedness, use the engineering design process to guide the
