Great Practice on Friday!

We started practice with the kids who looked at the project detail leading a discussion of what needs to be done with their teams.  Each team played a game that required great listening skills and teamwork.  And, have a look at this Coopertition -- two teams working together to make sure everyone understands the detail of the different missions.  


Homework before we meet again next Friday is FUN and EASY!


  1. Have a look at this list of Billion-Dollar U.S. Weather/Climate Disasters 1980-2012 (from NCDC).  Which ones are most interesting to you?  This will help the teams in discussing possible project options. (There are more links to local disasters on the Helpful - Project page if you don't find something that interests you on this list.)
  2. Play this  game from the United Nations:   Stop Disasters!  Choose your disaster and be prepared to come discuss what you learned with your team. 
IMPORTANT NOTE:  The list of natural disasters that are acceptable for the project are: 
  • Avalanche or Landslide
  • Earthquake
  • Tornado or Cyclone
  • Flood
  • Tsunami
  • Volcanic eruptions
  • Hurricane
  • Storm (wind, sand, blizzard or rain)
  • Wildfire
Let's make sure we're learning about events we can use!
