Objective
Simulate the process of erosion and observe its impact on different types of soil.
Materials
- Tray or large container
- Sand
- Soil
- Rocks
- Watering can or spray bottle
- Notebook for observations
Instructions
- Fill one section of the tray with sand, another with soil, and another with rocks.
- Use the watering can or spray bottle to simulate rain over each section.
- Observe and record how water affects each type of material in your notebook.
- Note any visible signs of erosion, such as gullies, displaced material, or sediment in the water runoff.
- Repeat the process to simulate prolonged erosion over time.
- Compare the extent of erosion in sand, soil, and rocks.
- Analyze your findings to understand how erosion impacts different landscapes and environments.
