Provocative question + quick voting “Imagine you wake up and the ground is shaking, windows break, and you hear a roar. What is happening? Raise your hand if you think it’s an earthquake — now raise if it’s a hurricane. Look around: different ideas! Today we name these powerful forces.” • Show 3 pictures (flood, fire, volcano) on screen. Ask: “Which one is NOT a natural disaster? Why?” • Quick debrief: “All are natural, but fire can be man-made too. We’ll learn precise terms.” |
• Look at pictures, raise hands, vote. • Discuss with partner (30 sec). • Share one idea: “Volcano is natural.” “Fire can start from lightning.” |
