Looking for a rigorous, engaging, and completely student-driven floods activity? This NO PREP station activity gets students analyzing real data and learning how different strategies reduce the impacts of flooding.
In this activity, students rotate through 10 interactive stations where they read short, clear background texts and analyze data tables, maps, and real-world scenarios to understand how communities reduce flood damage.
