Modeling Your Thinking
Students will create a timeline of the most important inventions made that have helped humans reduce impacts of weather-related hazards. Below each invention listed on the timeline should be thoroughly explained of what it is, who made it and how does it help reduce the impacts of weather-related hazards. The timeline should have at least 15 inventions. In addition, this timeline should be interesting, attractive, organized and informative.
