Rain Models and Water-Control Systems
In this lesson, students work in groups to simulate a rainstorm and explore ways to manipulate rainwater. Materials include a plastic or aluminum bin, paper, spray bottles, markers, and an array of engineering materials such as modeling clay, Play-Doh, foil, etc. Students will build their mountain model, simulate a rainstorm, observe potential problems with where water settles, and then design and implement solutions (dams, canals, etc.) to divert water elsewhere.

This lesson plan consists of two parts. The beginning of the lesson will introduce students to the 4 parts of the water cycle. During this time, they will be able to identify at which part the water
In this challenge students will use various materials to build a flood barrier that will protect their home during a flash flood.
In this lesson, students will design and test solutions to protect their homes during monsoon flooding. They will discuss flooding in Arizona and then research ways to protect their homes. Students
