Natural Disaster Solutions
Generate and compare multiple solutions to reduce the impacts of natural Earth processes on humans, such as earthquakes, floods, or volcanic eruptions
Lesson
Set out your lesson
“Natural Disaster Solutions means practising the idea at the table with a simple hands-on check. We will demo once, then your child tries.”
Bring to the table
- A printout or sketch of Earth layers / fault lines OR clay for a simple fold
- Pencil
Extra for the adult
Worked example. Pressing clay sideways makes folds — like rock layers under pressure.
Optional challenge. For Natural Disaster Solutions, add one harder example after success.
What to notice. Keep one parent note: examples tried; results; support used. This session samples Natural Disaster Solutions, not mastery.

Check understanding
- Identify at least two natural hazards and their impacts on human life and property
- Generate multiple solutions for reducing impacts (e.g. earthquake-resistant buildings, flood barriers, early warning systems)
- Compare solutions based on criteria like effectiveness, cost, and feasibility
“Can your child come up with different ideas for keeping people safe from earthquakes or floods, and compare which ones would work best?”
