Predict

If you pour water down the slope of the board, at which slope

will the water probably run fastest?

If there is sand on the board, at which slope will the most

erosion happen?

Experiment

Cover the board with dry sand. Make the sand 1 centimeter deep.

Raise one end of the board to the height for the ﬁrst slope. Time

how long it takes one cup of water to ﬂow down the slope. Use

fresh, dry sand and a full cup for each slope in the chart.
