Disasters

[AussieMum]

I am preparing a unit study of disasters - planning to cover natural & man made. Has anyone done anything like this? Do you have great ideas you would like to share? I particularly like activities that use the multiple intelligences so we have choices.
Thanks!

We haven't done that but it sounds interesting. We did study tornadoes but I think the girls didn't like it as much as I did. Good luck with your unit study. Beth

The tornado in a bottle is really neat. My daughter made one when she was in 6th grade.
