As part of the LPS Matrix approach, we discussed our prior knowledge, discussed what we would like to learn about, created questions to explore and identified skills we would need to use throughout the topic.

Here are the questions we created: 

1. Can natural disasters be predicted?
2. How do they predict the weather?
3. What causes a natural disaster? (earthquake, tornado, flood, landslide, tsunami)
4. Is it possible to stop a natural disaster and how could we do this?
5. Where are natural disasters most likely to happen?
6. What happens to the people after a natural disaster?
7. What was the first recorded natural disaster?
8. How do man-made disasters affect the environment?
9. How much plastic is made and recycled every year?
10. How is plastic made?
