In this science lesson, my science group/table (Luke, Nash, Helen, and me) designed our landscape. In this landscape we’re required to design a landscape that will reduce the amount of erosion caused by the stream on the riverbanks, protect the homes from the running water, providing the houses with a view of the bay/stream, and make the landscape pleasing to the eye.
- In our design, we used a blue hole cup (small hole cup) because the flow of water will be slower.
- The materials that our group decided to use are gravel, plants (grass), and sand. We thought that the grass would help the dirt stay in place, the sand would absorb the water, and the gravel was for decoration.
- Our idea for where to put the position and location of the homes were next to the bay/stream. We wanted the “owners” to have a good view.
Prediction:
- We predict that the water will flow slow and straight down.
- We hope the water flow won’t affect the home sides
- We hope the land won’t flood
