About this resource
Description
Tornadoes, floods, volcanoes and blizzards are big ideas that children are curious about. These natural disasters flash cards give students the words to name and describe twelve powerful weather and earth events. Every card pairs a calm, colorful watercolor picture with its word, so children can learn the vocabulary without anything scary on the page.
The cards are fold-over cards: the picture is on the front, and the word and a short fact are inside. Print the sheets on one side, fold each sheet on the center line, and cut on the dashed lines, so every card stays joined at the fold with nothing to line up. Younger children look at the picture, say the word and open the card to check. Older students read the fact and explain each event in their own words. A practice worksheet asks children to read each word and circle its picture.
What’s Included
- Colorful cover page
- How to Use page with simple steps
- 12 fold-over natural disaster cards (4 sheets): hurricane, tornado, tsunami, earthquake, flood, volcano, wildfire, blizzard, drought, avalanche, landslide and hailstorm
- Practice worksheet: read the word and circle the picture
- Card list answer key
- Answer key for the practice worksheet
Why Kids Love Them
First, the bright pictures make new science words easy to remember. Second, checking the word inside turns practice into a quick self-check game. Third, the one-sentence facts give older students something real to read, talk about and write about.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use these natural disaster vocabulary cards on a science word wall, at a reading center, or in a small group during a weather unit. Ask students to sort the cards into weather events and earth events, or to pick one card and write about how people stay safe. At home, the natural disasters flash cards are a gentle way to answer questions about storms and other news children hear about.
