Natural Disasters Worksheets and Hands-On Activity Ideas

by Liesl - Homeschool Den

Our Natural Disasters Packet has notebook pages and worksheets as well as some hands-on activity ideas covering the following events:

• Hurricane, cyclone, typhoon

In this packet you’ll find one page on each of these events. Often, natural disasters occur because of geologic changes or extreme weather conditions. Students explore the cause of each of these events.  They also find out what  damage results and examines the effect these disasters have on people, property, and infrastructure. Students fill in their own information about each natural disaster, what causes it, and give an example of a recent event and what effect it had on the community.

A number of years ago, we did some fun hands-on activities to help the kids understand what natural disasters are and why they can be so devastating.  These activities are buried deep in our blog, though, and I thought I would share some of them with you again today! They are also in the Natural Disasters Packet above.

These are activities we did when the kids were about PreK and early elementary:

 Mudslide: We mixed sand and cornstarch and covered a butter container container. Then we made it “rain” for a period of time to see what happened!

At the time, we watched the National Geographic you-tube video on hurricanes:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9VpwmtnOZc

Tsunamis are generally caused by an underwater earthquake, landslide, or volcanic eruption.

Natural Disasters Lapbook: You can use the interactive notebook pieces provided in this packet to create your own lapbook.

There are a couple of natural disaster worksheets as well (one is a matching page, the other is blank so the kids can write in the answer):

Here’s Amazon’s description: revealing the speed of a twister , the power of a hurricane , the lethal force of a lightning bolt , the instant devastation of a flood , or the explosive punch of a volcano . Feel what it’s like to be inside a house when a storm rips the roof off, when a cloud of volcanic ash overtakes you, or what a street sign picked up by a tornado would do to your car window. This is Nature at it s wildest and most furious.

Recently, I added in some new interactive notebook pages and blank notebook pages. My kids are actually using these for their foreign language practice (writing sentences to describe the pictures).  🙂  Hope it’s helpful for you too!

This packet now comes with our Clouds, Winds & Weather Packet . See more details about that here .

Floods, mudslides, tsunami, hurricanes, blizzards, drought, wildfires – This packet does not cover earthquakes, volcanoes, plate movement or the ring of fire because we covered that in great detail in our Earth Science Packet. More details of the Natural Disaster Packet here . image 1 , image 2

Here is more about our Earth Science Unit!

This 100+ page Earth Science Packet (now well over 100 pages actually because we recently added new materials on plate tectonics and more!) includes worksheets about the solar system, the layers of the Earth, plate tectonics, the ring of fire, earthquake activity and volcanoes. I also included instructions for more than a dozen hands-on activities we did with this unit. This includes activities about plate tectonics, Pangaea, using a compass, earthquakes, volcanoes,  instructions on how to make a shake table and more!

You may be interested in some of our related packets:

Earth Science Unit : In this unit, we talked about the layers of the Earth, latitude & longitude, tectonic plate movement (and did a couple of great hands-on activities related to that), earthquakes (we made an earthquake shake table), mountain making, volcanoes (we did a couple of fun hands-on activities) and more

Hi i’m liesl.

Do you believe education can be exciting, inspiring, and full of joy? We do too! I love the quote by William Butler Yeats, "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." It's about getting the kids involved, engaged, and fired up about learning (while juggling the rest of life too!)

A bit about me: I have my Master's from Brown University. I have more than 20 years of teaching experience. I was a high school teacher for many years both in the U.S. and internationally and also taught for the University of Maryland before leaving to homeschool my 3 wonderful kids.

How To Make a Project on a Natural Disaster?

Creating a project on natural disasters involves several steps to ensure it is informative, engaging, and educational. Here’s a structured approach to make a project on natural disasters:

1. Choose a Specific Natural Disaster

• Select a specific type of natural disaster to focus on, such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis, or wildfires. Consider factors like prevalence in your region or personal interest.

2. Research and Gather Information

• Causes and Mechanisms: Understand how the chosen disaster occurs (e.g., seismic activity for earthquakes, weather patterns for hurricanes).
• Effects: Learn about the impacts on the environment, infrastructure, and human populations.
• Historical Examples: Study past occurrences of the disaster, both globally and locally if applicable.

3. Project Objectives and Scope

• Define the objectives of your project. Decide whether you want to focus on prevention, preparedness, response, or recovery aspects of the disaster. Determine the scope of your project based on available resources and time.

4. Create Project Components

A. introduction.

• Overview: Provide a brief introduction to the natural disaster, including its definition and significance.
• Objective: State the goals of your project and what you aim to achieve.

B. Causes and Mechanisms

• Explain how the disaster occurs, using diagrams or illustrations if possible.
• Describe the scientific principles or factors involved (e.g., tectonic plate movements for earthquakes , atmospheric conditions for hurricanes).
• Discuss the environmental, social, and economic impacts of the disaster.
• Include case studies or examples to illustrate these impacts.

D. Prevention and Mitigation

• Propose strategies and measures to prevent or mitigate the effects of the disaster.
• Discuss engineering solutions, early warning systems, land-use planning, or policy recommendations.

E. Preparedness

• Outline steps individuals or communities can take to prepare for the disaster.
• Include emergency kits, evacuation plans, and community drills.

F. Response and Recovery

• Highlight the roles of emergency services, NGOs, and government agencies in response and recovery efforts.

5. Presentation Format

Decide on the format of your project presentation:

• Poster: Visual presentation with images, diagrams, and concise text.
• Report: Written document with sections covering each aspect of the project.
• Presentation: Oral presentation with slides summarizing key points.

6. Include Visuals and Data

• Enhance your project with visuals such as maps, charts, graphs, and photographs. These help in explaining concepts, illustrating impacts, and making your presentation more engaging.

7. Incorporate Examples and Case Studies

• Use real-life examples and case studies to illustrate key points and provide context to your project. This adds credibility and demonstrates practical applications of your research.

8. Conclusion and Recommendations

• Summarize the main findings and conclusions of your project.
• Provide recommendations for future research or actions to improve disaster preparedness and response.

9. Review and Feedback

Tsunamis cannot be stopped, but there are ways to defend against them. Scientists around the world watch for early signs of earthquakes. They also note unusual changes in ocean levels. With this information, scientists can warn people to leave areas that a tsunami might hit.

The Pacific Ocean is the site of many tsunamis, but tsunamis can form in the Atlantic and Indian oceans, too. A powerful earthquake struck beneath the Indian Ocean in December 2004. The earthquake set off tsunamis that hit about 10 countries. More than 200,000 people died. This was the worst tsunami disaster ever recorded. A massive earthquake off the coast of Japan in March 2011 led to a devastating tsunami in that country as well.
