In modern day life we are inundated with electrical charges day in, day out. They build up an excess of free radicals that in turn cause damage to our cells. Free radicals need a negative electron in order to neutralize. Luckily for us, Earth has an endless supply of these!

It supports the Natural Hazards section in my NGSS curriculum, which discusses volcanoes, earthquakes, and severe weather hazards. We had just finished ESS standards, and this dovetailed nicely with the tectonics lesson we had just done. I use this in a class of my own design about disasters and society and used this as an intro activity. students know most of the information from their science class, and so this is treated as a review and make sure everyone is on the same page. I love this because it combines the information with being able to color while they are working on it. these actually made their way into the hallway to be displayed after we were done and led to us looking into the effects of earthquakes on society and creating structures that were better able to withstand earthquakes and leading to an analysis of how we are able to better protect people and property from earthquakes. I love these doodle notes. They worked great with my students, and they liked having the visuals right in their notes.
