Inquiry for Grade 7 Science

In the Inquiry for Grade 7 Science Unit, Designing for a Disaster, students will be investigating natural disasters through a mathematical and scientific lens. Students will look at structures and their stabilizing forces. They will look at how different forces, especially those from natural disasters, affect the integrity of structures. This unit should be taught alongside the Inquiry for Grade 7 Science unit. Students are driving towards answering the question, How might we design a structure that withstands a natural disaster in a chosen community?
