Engineering: Forces of Nature
Fasten your seat belts; we’re in for some wild weather!
This unit is all about the amazing and powerful forces of
nature, as students explore the when, where, how and
why of all kinds of natural phenomenon. There is a lot of
geography in this unit -- we’ll examine a map of the
Pacific “Ring of Fire” where most tsunamis occur, view a
diagram of the tectonic plates and learn how their
movement creates earthquakes, define the area known
as “Tornado Alley” in North America, and find out what
hurricanes are called in different parts of the world.
These lessons are designed to improve your child’s
understanding of the forces of nature, while taking care
not to alarm. Each model represents the motion of that
particular weather or event, with a seat for a mini-figure
to take in the action! Take cover because we’re about to
take a trip through some wild weather! Kids will love to
build moving models of a tornado, a tsunami, an
earthquake and a cyclone. Learn how they move, why
they happen and what you can do to stay safe!
