Description
Erosion happens naturally in our world by wind, ice, water and more. How can you create a solution that helps reduce the impact of water erosion?
By going through the Engineering Design Process, you’ll explore the difference between weathering and erosion, water erosion invention inspiration, building a design and testing it using soil and water. Print-and-go and digital resources to guide creation and exploration.
==========================================
STEM Challenges are a great way to encourage creativity, collaboration and critical thinking. With the tools that I created for you, it should save you time with prep and give you more time to provide an awesome experience for your kids.
==========================================
