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.
