Finding Out about Extreme Natural Phenomena



As geologists, we have been inquiring into the causes of extreme natural phenomena such as earthquakes, tsunami, and volcanoes. 




First, we started off by considering what we think we already knew about the topic. 






Then, we generated a list of questions related to the concept of causation.




As we found out information using various sources such as videos on a Padlet, other websites, and books, we made sense of what we viewed and read. 




Many of us chose to sketch-note our growing knowledge. 




This visual note-taking strategy helps us as the dual-coding theory suggests that our brains process information more effectively when both verbal associations and visual imagery are being used.






We also shared our learning with others by creating one giant poster filled with sketch-noted information. 




See you next time!
