Some states have more than others but all 50 states have encountered the terrifying effects of one. Learn what causes these super storms, what you can do if you find yourself faced with one, and how to stay safe from these devastating twisters! This title will allow students to explain how an author uses reasons and evidence to support particular points in a text, identifying which reasons and evidence support which point(s).

        Gr 3-7-Using photos, maps, and diagrams, each volume presents a wealth of information about the subject disaster. The authors consider both natural and human factors that can trigger disasters, from shifting tectonic plates, which produce earthquakes or tsunamis, to mistakes that lead to nuclear meltdowns. Photos of historic and contemporary examples worldwide illustrate the events. The authors address aftermath and cleanup as well as research to predict and mitigate future occurrences. Guides for teachers and parents offer reading and discussion suggestions plus extension activities. The vocabulary and diagrams in Earthquakes are textbooklike, and the book includes the blanket recommendation "to bring a new earthquake kit to school every year." Other offerings in this set advise readers to think about disaster risk in their particular region. VERDICT Select titles from this solid series as needed to bolster collections.
