Natural Disasters: Preventing Erosion
by Jennifer Coggins
In this lesson, students will work in groups to design a model that will demonstrate the best erosion techniques for the model of a road experiencing flooding or heavy rainfall. Students will be given limited material choices as well as other constraints. Students will design, test, revise, and analyze their designs.
