= Squid's disaster page! = Week 1

I've been learning about natural disasters and we've done projects and all that stuff. Also in our project book we brainstormed ideas about natural disasters such as volcano's, floods and even bush fires.

__Questions__ I don't think that we are safe from mother nature because we don't have any control over wheather conditions nor can we control a natural disaster.
 * Are we safe from mother nature?**

Week 2 What is a disaster? ** A disaster is something that can harm people and our natural environment.

Some of the different types of natural disasters include twisters, floods, cyclones, fires, huricanes, metiorites, tsunamis, heat waves, volcanoes and even droughts. I think the most dangerous disaster is an earthquake because it harms people, can destroy our natural enviornment and can create harmful tsunamis.
 * What are the different types of Natural Disasters? **
 * What do I think is the most dangerous disaster?**

This week we got in groups and made a volcano ours exploded the best when we put the vinegar and bicarbanent soda in at the same time and that was the highlight of my week.And we also discused about what we think is the most dangerous natural disaster
 * weekly reflection! **

**week 3** year 5 kids went on camp!!!!

**week 4** A rating or coding system that catagorises on the level of the actual disaster.
 * What do they use to classify disaster?**

They actually use satellite communication.
 * What do they use to measure them? **

This week I learnt how they measure earthquakes and tsunamis also that there are plates under the earth. Plates are big rock crusts also the center of the core is apparently hotter than the outside of the sun.
