Natural Disasters

I teach in the southern coal fields of West Virginia, one thing my students are becoming aware of are natural disasters, this is because of having a major flood in the area a couple of years ago.  As for hurricanes, earthquakes or volcano disasters my students do not understand.  I hope this will change in the next couple of weeks because I will be teaching Earth science. 

The way in which I help my students become aware of natural disasters is by letting the students watch Channel One.  In addition, I also research the disaster on YouTube and other sites like the history channel in addition; I show videos on natural disasters.

I hope as I being the Earth science unit I will help my students get a better understand of natural disaster.  In addition, I want to see if I can see up a community group in which the students can donate to an area which has gone through a natural disaster.
