About This Activity
Description
This engineering workshop is all about amazing and powerful forces of nature. Students explore the when, where, how, and why of all kinds of natural phenomena. Participants will examine a map of the Pacific “Ring of Fire” where most tsunamis occur and a diagram of the tectonic plates. They will also learn how their movement creates earthquakes, define the area known as “Tornado Alley” in North America, and find out what hurricanes are called in different parts of the world. These lessons are designed to improve your child’s understanding of the forces of nature and how to be safe during them. Participants will love to build moving models of a tornado, a whirlpool, an earthquake, cyclone, and more.
