What educators are saying
This was exactly what I was looking for! I especially liked being able to modify the Google Slides to fit my needs. My students were able to complete this project.
This was a fantastic project for my online students to do; they were engaged and excited to share their learning!
Description
Natural Hazards From The Past Project!
Step 1: Students chose a natural hazard event that occurred in the past from a list.
Natural hazards events list includes:
- Earthquakes: San Francisco Earthquake 1906, Haiti Earthquake 2010, The Great Alaska Earthquake 1964, San Francisco Earthquake 1989
- Hurricanes: Hurricane Katrina 2005, Hurricane Harvey 2017, Hurricane Sandy 2012, Hurricane Laura 2020
- Tornadoes: Nashville Tornado 2020, Moore Tornado 2013, Joplin Tornado 2011, Tri-State Tornado 1925
- Tsunamis: Japan Tsunami 2011, Indonesia Tsunami 2004, Krakatau, Indonesia 1883, Sunda Strait Tsunami 2018
- Volcanoes: Mount Pinatubo, 1991, Mount Vesuvius A.D. 79, Mount St. Helens 1980, Kīlauea Volcano 2018
Step 2: Students then research the natural hazard event and develop a Google Slides Presentation. Students are given instructions to develop 10 slides with specific information to include for each slide. Students research the natural hazard event and include the where, when, how, why, detectability, mitigation used/developed, how people were affected by the event, the magnitude of the event, etc.
Rubric for grading presentations is included! It can be printed or used digitally!
Extension: Students can present their natural hazard event to their classmates. A note-taking document is included in this product. As their classmates present, students write two interesting facts they learned about the natural hazard.
- This product is great for DISTANCE LEARNING. 100% Digital.
- This product requires no teacher prep - simply post the Google Slides/Good Doc onto Google Classroom for students!
- This product is editable to meet your needs!

NGSSMS-ESS3-2
Analyze and interpret data on natural hazards to forecast future catastrophic events and inform the development of technologies to mitigate their effects. Emphasis is on how some natural hazards, such as volcanic eruptions and severe weather, are preceded by phenomena that allow for reliable predictions, but others, such as earthquakes, occur suddenly and with no notice, and thus are not yet predictable. Examples of natural hazards can be taken from interior processes (such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions), surface processes (such as mass wasting and tsunamis), or severe weather events (such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods). Examples of data can include the locations, magnitudes, and frequencies of the natural hazards. Examples of technologies can be global (such as satellite systems to monitor hurricanes or forest fires) or local (such as building basements in tornado-prone regions or reservoirs to mitigate droughts).
NGSSHS-ESS3-1
Construct an explanation based on evidence for how the availability of natural resources, occurrence of natural hazards, and changes in climate have influenced human activity. Examples of key natural resources include access to fresh water (such as rivers, lakes, and groundwater), regions of fertile soils such as river deltas, and high concentrations of minerals and fossil fuels. Examples of natural hazards can be from interior processes (such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes), surface processes (such as tsunamis, mass wasting and soil erosion), and severe weather (such as hurricanes, floods, and droughts). Examples of the results of changes in climate that can affect populations or drive mass migrations include changes to sea level, regional patterns of temperature and precipitation, and the types of crops and livestock that can be raised.
NGSS4-ESS2-2
Analyze and interpret data from maps to describe patterns of Earth’s features. Maps can include topographic maps of Earth’s land and ocean floor, as well as maps of the locations of mountains, continental boundaries, volcanoes, and earthquakes.
