In this two day class (once a week), students will be introduced to 10 different types of extreme weather. Each class will begin with a vibrant presentation, introducing 5 types of weather/natural disasters. Students will be encouraged to participate in discussions and ask questions. Next, the students will use their new knowledge to participate in a game of "Name That Weather." Finally, the class will end with a science experiment related to the lesson. Students may watch me conduct the experiment, or they may follow along with me if they would like to bring the materials needed. Here is a breakdown of the 2 classes: Week 1: Tornadoes Hurricanes/Typhoons Landslides/Avalanches Blizzards Droughts Science Experiment: Tornado in a jar. Week 2: Tsunamis Earthquakes Volcanic Eruptions Monsoons Floods Science Experiment: Edible tectonic plates. No previous knowledge is required in order to participate in this course. I look forward to teaching your child! Miss Erin
