Help your students build real understanding of wildfires and drought through ninety questions that move from basic recognition to genuine reasoning about how the Earth works.
Among the ninety questions, students will see prompts such as "Which of the following is a direct consequence of wildfires on local climates?", "How does climate change contribute to the frequency of wildfires?", and "In what way can fire management policies help mitigate drought effects on wildfires?"
All three worksheets cover the same topic in different question styles. That means you can use one as a pretest, another for practice or homework, and the third as a follow up quiz, without students ever seeing the same question twice.
This set is part of a NGSS aligned earth science unit. The unit also covers Types of Natural Hazards, Earthquake Hazards, Volcanic Eruptions and Risk, Hurricanes and Coastal, GIS and Hazard Mapping, and Probability and Risk, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.
Suitable for Grade 9-12 earth science classes, and for review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to NGSS standard HS-ESS3-2.
