Can You Build a Village and Protect it from a Flood?

Giving the "Mayor" of the village a break from all of the activities.

ECO has proved to be a great learning experience as we have tied many of the concepts about land, water and our wall unit into simulations at Hubbard Park. In mid-October our goal was to create a village along a hillside that was protected by walls or dams from rain and flood waters. 

Constructing walls proves to require a great deal of focus.

Some people manage to get their boots stuck in mud past their ankles and still manage to build a wall.

Adding "rainfall" to test our simulation...ask your child how his/her village survived the storm.
