Get Started

This lesson has 2 parts! First, you’ll learn about rain, roots, and runoff, and set up an experiment to see if plants can help prevent erosion. Then, you’ll test the experiment, learn more about erosion, and engineer a man-made model that might be able to help prevent erosion too!

What you’ll learn:

  • Rain can cause erosion.
  • Plants can help prevent erosion.
  • How to make and test an engineering model for preventing erosion.
