How to draw a dam for kids?

• lengthy, low, obvious Tupperware container
• sand
• tiny rocks (like tank gravel)
• popsicle sticks
• bucket saturated in liquid

1. Fill the Tupperware container with sand.
2. Dig the path of a lake within the sand.
3. Select a spot someplace along the river to construct your dam.
4. Utilize popsicle sticks and little rocks to make a dam that will let just a little bit of liquid come through, although not too much. Take into account that the much deeper the water, the greater the water stress. Therefore, the bottom of your dam will need to help more stress than the top of the dam. In the event that you built your dam in a triangular shape, then your bottom may be broader and will also be able to support more pressure.
5. Test your dam by pouring liquid from a container along the river path.

when I attempted to build a dame during the summer we tested if it might work by putting our dog Fate about it and it also brok! therefore we tried again but now we utilized dirt to keep it together and voila it would not break! so today I know that in the event that you put mud on a dam it wont break!
