Erosion Testing Model

This is an erosion-testing model to help you understand how to prevent erosion and how it works. (DISCLAIMER THIS PROJECT WAS CREATED BY A TWELVE YEAR OLD WHO GOES MIDDLE SCHOOL IN WASHINGTON) (For safety reasons I cannot disclose my real name or school.)

Supplies

Garden soil, tin lasagna/casserole pan, scissors, marker, cup, water, something to prop the tin up at a forty-degree angle, and materials to test your erosion prevention with (not in photo).

Step 1: Trace the Exit Hole

This is where the dirty dirt-water will drain out of.

Step 2: Cut the Exit Hole

Well there's not really anything to be explained, just cut around the lines!

Step 3: Load the Dirt

Dump the dirt in

Step 4: Shape the Dirt

Step 5: Pour the Water

Watch as the soil is eroded, and make observations.

Step 6: Revise

Use household items to try to prevent the erosion of the soil.
