This lesson has been designed for ages 3 - 8. 

Purpose: 
Welcome to The Disaster Spot! It's purpose is to teach about natural disasters. We have sections on various natural disasters, describing what they are like, and what kind of power they have. We have also included information on how to protect and prepare yourself for those disasters, including ways to protect your house from damage. 
 

The Lessons: 
There are two lessons contained in the Disaster Spot. The first is about various natural disasters. There are five different sections that cover Earthquakes, Floods, Hurricanes, Snow, and Tornadoes. Each section has facts about the disaster, Words to Know about the disaster, and Things to Know, with ways to protect yourself in case of a disaster. 

The second lesson covers ways to protect and prepare for natural disasters. This includes sections on how to prepare your home or car for disasters, and how to prepare supply kit for yourself, your home, and your car in case of a disaster. 

Each lesson has an on-line quiz which students can take after they finish each lesson. Students will be able to submit their quizzes to have them scored on-line. 

Finally, there is an extensive glossary with The Disaster Spot which covers many different disasters. It can be used with the lesson or used as a reference for other lessons.
