Preventing Soil Erosion with Vegetation
Students will be able to design a method of protection for the Earth’s land that would withstand the impact of rainfall on soil and prevent erosion. Students will discover that the soil with vegetation (grass) has improved the soil resistance to erosion. Then students will be told that they’ve been hired as engineers by ASU and need to find other types of vegetation that can protect soils and withstand water erosion. Students will work in groups researching different types of plants and decide on which type of seeds they would like to plant to improve their soil’s resistance to water erosion.
