Description

Give students a head start in both science and organization. This unique and innovative new series pairs practical Information with useful learning tools in the form of graphic organizers. Each book features a subject pulled directly from the K-4 Earth science curriculum plus nine graphic organizers that highlight facts about each chapter topic. Venn diagrams, charts, concept webs, maps, timelines, and more are used to present facts and to show students how these tools can be used for learning. Color photographs are included to support chapter text and illustrate the topics students are reading about. Students will realize that even the hardest concepts can be broken down into pieces of Information that are easy to learn and remember. Hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, floods, landslides--natural events are powerful and scary things. This book will introduce kids to many natural occurrences and discuss ways to prepare for and stay safe during an event. The book covers natural events' effects on both people and the environment. It shows students the ways that each event can be harmful and helpful. A Venn diagram comparing three types of mass movements and a line graph of the effect of wind speed on wind chill are two of the many graphics that organize information about natural events in this book.
