SCIENCE
Work of Water Unit
Lesson 5 Essential Question- What's strong enough to make a canyon?
In this lesson, students make hypotheses and investigate the causes of canyons. In the activity, Cornmeal Canyons, students create a model landform using cornmeal. Then they drip water over this “land” to observe how water can change its shape and to understand how, over long periods of time, canyons can be formed through a similar process.
