John's Water Erosion

My class did a project on water erosion. We used utensils but on our animations we had to make it look like it was in real life. My picture is on a hill and it starts to rain. Then it makes a stream, then a river, then an ocean.

When the sun comes out, it dries up most of the water and the rock moved too because the water too it with it.

If you want to do this project you need a coffee can with holes in the bottom of it, a tin pan, some water, and sand. First write a prediction of what you think is going to happen. Shape the sand in to a hill in the pan. Poor the water into the can. Hold the can over the sand and watch what happens. After that write what happened down on the paper with the prediction.
