The Action: Students created models to educate the public on the impact these actions will have on the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem. Ask your child to describe the link between cutting down trees, turbidity levels, soil erosion, and the health of the ecosystem. Check out some of these great models of soil erosion!
The task: Students were faced with a problem. They were told that a construction company is planning on building a brand new state of the art hotel in a state park that borders the Chesapeake Bay. In order to build the hotel on stable land, the construction workers will have to cut down quite a few trees and then flatten the land.

the first one is my teams model! It was fun to pour the water in, and create the model using many different things, like rocks and pompoms and soil!
