Duration: 8 weeks. Sessions per Week: 2 live classes (45 minutes each). Earth’s most powerful natural disasters are more than just news headlines—they’re fascinating scientific phenomena shaped by physics and climate. In this interactive class, students will dive into the science behind hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, and more. We’ll explore the physical forces that cause these events, how they’re connected to climate, and their impacts on the planet and humanity. Through hands-on activities, thought-provoking discussions, and real-world examples, students will gain a deeper understanding of Earth’s dynamic systems and the role science plays in predicting and mitigating disasters.
