Earthquakes, Volcanoes and Tsunamis
Hundreds of earthquakes shake the earth every day – some big, some small, some enormous! Meanwhile, boiling hot lava erupts from volcanoes around the world. In coastal communities, tsunamis are feared as they wreak devastation. But what are earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis? What causes these natural disasters to happen? How do humans protect themselves? Let’s find out in this KS2 Earthquakes, Volcanoes & Tsunamis workshop! An ideal natural disasters workshop for schools all year round or for British Science Week.
What schools say
“A really positive, enriching experience. The children had not discussed this topic before the day, but went away with key vocabulary and an empathy for people involved in natural disasters such as these. It was clear that Adele had prepared thoroughly.”
