A student is developing an interactive model for her classmates using sand, red clay, and gravel.  She places a mound of each type of soil material in the middle of separate large pans so that the height of each mound is 10 centimeters tall.  She then measures 50 mL of water into three cups.  She creates one “rain cup” that has holes in the bottom and simulates rainfall on each of the mounds using 50 mL of water.  Finally, the student measures the resulting height of each mound and records additional observations in a table. Which question is the student most likely trying to answer by demonstrating this interactive model?

• What soil material absorbs the most rainfall?

• How does soil deposition affect land after it rains?

• 
  What soil material erodes the most during rainfall?

• Why do different materials experience weathering at different rates?

How could you create a canyon using water, dirt, sediment and sand?

• Make a hill out of dirt, sediment and sand in a plastic container, and then pour water over the dirt and sand moving it to a new location.

• Make a hill out of dirt, sediment and sand in a plastic container, and then tilt the container, moving the dirt and sand to a new location. 

• Make a hill out of dirt, sediment and sand in a plastic container, and then drop rocks on the hill, moving the dirt to a new location.

• Make a hill out of dirt, sediment and sand in a plastic container, and then use a fan to move the dirt and sand to a new location.
