Science Investigation: Coastal Erosion

In science this week we have been busy exploring how we can slow Earth’s surfaces changes. Over the past month have charted and learned about slow Earth changes, as well as rapid Earth changes. This week, students worked in small groups to design a coast and creatively construct barriers to slow coastal wind erosion.

On Thursday we tested out our designs! Each group blew through straws to show gentle wind and we used a hairdryer to create strong winds. Ask your child if their design was successful in slowing or even preventing erosion!
