Create a Flood Barrier Project

In this hands-on activity, students will explore the science of floods—what they are, how they occur, and the safety measures to take during one. They’ll dive into understanding the impact of floods on communities and the environment. Students will design and construct a flood barrier using everyday materials to reinforce their learning. Finally, they’ll put their barrier to the test by simulating a flood with water, evaluating its effectiveness, and discussing improvements.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand what a flood is and the dangers it poses.
• Learn practical safety tips for staying safe during a flood.
• Develop problem-solving skills by designing and testing a flood barrier.
