SubjectNatural Disasters

This learning resource focuses on the identification of various natural disasters and the physical alterations they bring to the environment. Students will engage with a picture gallery, observing images of different disasters such as floods and storms, prompting them to recognize the types of disasters and note their immediate impacts. Following this observational exercise, students are tasked with designing a model flood protection system for a mini-community, integrating engineering principles to devise a barrier or drainage system capable of safeguarding homes from increasing flood risks due to climate change. The resource includes materials for building, step-by-step instructions for construction, and a reflection section for students to analyze their designs and suggest improvements.
