This slide deck will walk students through the top 10 natural disasters: Cyclones, Earthquakes, Tornados, Volcanic Eruptions, Tsunamis, Floods, Wildfires, Droughts, Avalanches, and Landslides. Each slide includes a photo and some key facts about the disaster. The slide deck ends with a what is where, why there, why care example and students can apply this skill to their own disaster.

This is a great start of the school year activity to get to your students. Perfect for middle school and high school. Step by step instructions with photos for your students to learn about and create their first google my maps. I recommend you use this guide to create your own so you can show them an example before they get started. This takes about an hour depending on the age and ability of your students. After students can share with the teacher, small groups or the whole class.
