As part of our topic-based homeschool, we have been doing an extreme weather topic. I thought that I would share the list of items which I brain stormed when I was thinking of this topic, to help inspire you for your own home school.

Interactive notebook (lapbook)
We used some sheets that I made to aid our learning about; tornadoes, hurricanes, lightning, floods, earthquakes and tsunamis.
