New Orleans Levee Design Challenge
These 3rd grade students had been studying the affects of hurricane Katrina on the New Orleans' Levee. They were challenged to create a better levee using the following materials:
- Sand
- Soil
- Clay
- Paint stirrers
- Tape
- Glue
- Foil
- Sponges
- Cardboard
Their Levees were placed in a paint tray liner and then 500 ml of water was poured over and timed how long it could hold water.
