Learn About Rapid Changes to Earth’s Surface

Are your students beginning to investigate how Earth’s surface can change by natural causes in their science class? Earth’s surface can change due to a variety of processes, including severe weather, tectonic activity, and volcanic eruptions. Tectonic activity, such as plate tectonics, can cause the formation of mountains and earthquakes. Volcanic eruptions can create new landforms, such as volcanic islands and ash deposits. Teach Starter has you covered if your students want to learn about each type of rapid change!

This printable poster pack includes 6 posters covering different types of natural disasters:

• Volcanoes
• Floods
• Hurricanes
• Earthquakes
• Landslides
• Tsunamis

How to Make the Most of Your Natural Disasters Poster Pack

1. Print the posters and display them in your classroom for students to reference when doing independent work.
2. Print the posters, slip them into a clear sleeve, and use them in your guided groups as a reminder.
3. Print the posters, slide them into a clear sleeve, and hang them on a ring as a reference tool for a learning center. 

We’ve also come up with bonus ways to turn posters into interactive tools that really make your lessons stick! 

📝 Create a fill-in-the-blank worksheet by removing selections of text.  

📂 Place copies in students’ homework folders for reference. 

🧠 Test students’ memories by showing them the poster, then hiding it and having them tell you what they remember.

✅ Incorporate posters into your lesson wrap-up: students write on a sticky note what they learned from the lesson and place it on the poster.
