The extreme weather and natural disaster research project is perfect for students who are learning how to use informational text. Students can conduct traditional book and/or internet research while learning more about extreme weather and natural disasters AND how to conduct research.
SCROLL DOWN TO THE PINK TABS TO SEE A DETAILED DESCRIPTION AND PRODUCT PREVIEW
Page Count: 177 | Â File Type: Google Slides
Students will first learn how to use the text features in an informational text including the table of contents and index. They will also learn how to find credible sources on the internet. Then, students will be assigned a type of extreme weather or natural disaster to research (and optionally, a partner or group to work with).
Students will have an Extreme Weather and Natural Disasters Research Journal that they will use as a guide as they research weather and natural disasters in general as well as their assigned type. Editable sections have been added to the research journals so you may add your own questions!

Great unit if you live in places where there’s Extreme Weather and Natural Disasters!!
These units are designed to engage students and not just be printed work sheets. They are working, researching and getting their hands dirty at the same time! What I love most about the units, is the formats are all the same across themes. Your students become familiar with the structure and this makes the transitions so much easier.
I love this website!!
Thank you for all you do!

I think this product is great but my students and parents do not seem to enjoy it as the slides are too vague and apparently (I did not feel they were vague that is parent feedback) and I am having to mix this with another TPT purchase along with my own ideas on how I can create a virtual weather project as theses slides I feel are great for notes but nothing that ties them together for the kids to make a final project with. Again these are great for the to jot notes down as weather is taught, but wasn’t what I personally for me and my class.
