Mystery Science - Stormy Skies Unit - How can you keep a house from blowing away in a windstorm? Grade 3 Topic: Weather & Climate Focus: Natural Hazards & Engineering NGSS Standards: 3-ESS3-1, 3-5-ETS1-1, 3-5-ETS1-2, 3-5-ETS1-3 STEAM In this lesson, students explore the effects of natural hazards, such as tornadoes, hurricanes, and dust storms. In the activity, Design a Windproof House, students build paper house models. Then, using limited materials, students design multiple solutions that will make their houses sturdy enough to survive a wind storm, and compare the merits of their solutions.
