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.

By creating a stop motion animation, students will gain a deeper understanding of how landforms develop, are weathered, and erode. This is an engaging way to help infer the history of the current
In this lesson students will work in groups to design a new weather instrument that will better predict weather. They will do a gallery walk and have the opportunity to redesign based on feedback
