2nd Edition Lesson

Information for Mitigation

GRADE 6 STEAM

In this STEAM lesson, students will play science detectives, using real data to spot how accurately natural disasters are portrayed in theatre and film. They’ll watch a performance, compare it to the facts, and explore why artists might bend the truth. Finally, they’ll brainstorm ways to make those scenes more scientifically accurate without losing the drama!
