Mrs. Bon's 5th grade scientists learned about erosion using equipment previously purchased from a Gunter GIFT grant. The students packed the dirt on the platform and then attached a "rain-maker" at the top. When they poured water in, the rain-maker distributed the water as if it were raining. Students were able to see how, over a period of time, erosion begins. When they can actually see science working, the lesson is so much more clear!
