Weather-Resistant Engineering
Understand that engineers design buildings, flood defences, and warning systems to protect communities from extreme weather — hurricane-resistant roofs, flood barriers, tornado shelters, and early-warning alert systems — and evaluate the merits of these solutions

Check understanding
- Describe at least two engineering solutions designed to protect against extreme weather
- Explain how a specific design feature reduces damage from a weather hazard
- Evaluate the advantages and limitations of a weather protection solution
“If your child saw pictures of houses on stilts in a flood zone and a tornado shelter, could they explain how each design protects people and discuss whether one solution works better than another?”
