Preventing a Landslide

March 14, 2018 at 7:19 am

For our next experiment in 2nd Grade, we are using all that rich knowledge we have been learning about Erosion, Weathering, and Deposition to prevent a Landslide from happening to our mountains!

This time, we are going to use Corn Meal to create our mountains instead of Sand. Why? Because the consistency of corn meal will be a little trickier when it comes to preventing the erosion from occurring on our mountains. Take a look:

We got to choose from materials such as: tooth picks, cotton balls, paper towels, and pieces of aluminum foil to prevent our land slides from happening when we make it "rain"! Some students put the aluminum foil or cotton balls right on top and it worked well, or the cotton balls fell right off when it started to rain, so students realized they needed something to help hold the cotton balls in place, etc.

So much fun!

Keep Exploring,
