Today, the Year 5/6 students explored the effects of erosion in a fun and engaging science experiment. First, they observed what erosion looks like without any mitigation strategies in place, watching how soil/sand can easily wash away - potentially destroying nearby structures like their model houses. Then the students used materials such as paddle pop sticks, plants and rocks to design solutions to prevent erosion. It was a great experiment with lots of hands on learning and teamwork. The students had a wonderful time discovering how science can be used to tackle real world environmental challenges. 🔬👩🎤 #stjohnssilkwood
