Summer learning journey / Fishing False Teeth

 Today i did a activity from the summer learning journey. The activity i was doing was the Fishing False Teeth. The activity for Fishing False Teeth  is that there were two mans fishing. And then the man sneezed and his teeth came out and the the man next to him was laughing because he moved the boat and the teeth fell out. Then that man caught a fish and put his teeth into the fish. But the man thought is was his teeth but it was the other man teeth so the man that tried the teeth threw the teeth into the water because it did't fit in his mouth.

Resource Requisition l Inquiry

 Most natural disasters are common and can be found at any time in the world.  

 Humans need shelters and protection during a natural disaster. Storms may be common disasters but are really powerful sometimes.

All materials can be useful for something during a natural disaster, e.g: wool can keep you warm, stainless steel is a strong material that can not break, cardboard is an inside wall, etc.

Shelters windows could use strong clear plastic, since they are strong it would be hard for it to break, popsicle sticks can break easily but if you put a lot of layers there's a chance it can not break

Mathematics also can help during buying products to prevent natural disasters. The mathematics to measure our products we are using for the shelter.

Natural disasters come in all sorts, and sometimes make global problems around the world.
