Lesson: Reducing the Negative Impacts of Natural Hazards Science • 4th Grade

In this lesson, we will learn how to describe solutions that reduce the negative impact of natural hazards.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

explain how scientists try to predict when natural hazards will occur,
describe some short-term and long-term solutions that reduce the negative impacts of natural hazards including shear walls, dampers, and bracings,
test and evaluate design solutions to reduce the impacts of natural hazards.

Q1:

This photo shows a seismologist at work.

Fill in the blank: A seismologist maps where happen and predicts where the next one may occur.

Q2:

This photo shows a part of California, USA, during a drought.

Which action can help reduce the impact of drought?

Q3:

In 2015, a strong earthquake hit Nepal. In the first few days after the earthquake, shelters were put up for people who had lost their homes.

Is this intended as a short-term or long-term solution to reduce the impact of the earthquake?
