Soleil has been looking at stream table experiments in science. We have been studying how erosion takes effect on the land. Things that we have learned are that erosion takes chunks of land and erodes the land forming valleys,canyons,rivers,and lakes. When there is erosion bad things can happen like mudslides or floods. We have been watching videos to learn why these things are happening in our stream tables and in the real world. In conclusion science helps us study erosion and the land.

On December 9th, Soleil went on a field trip to Brightwater. We studied water and erosion in hills, wetlands, and streams. We had model stream tables just like the ones we have here in class, and we studied some problems that can be caused by erosion and water. We did experiments with our model stream tables on how to prevent flooding and mudslides by studying streams and wetlands to figure out how to prevent too much erosion and too much dirty water from getting in the way of our everyday lives or interfering with sewage that could cause floods or mudslides. We got little journals to write down observations and draw small maps of different places.We went to a stream, a hill, and a wetland to record our observations.

Every year, Madrona does a service project. This is helping people every year, and sometimes even animals. This year, please be aware that we are fixing a school’s roof in Bali. The children in Bali like to do a traditional dance and, they sent a video of some children doing the dance in appreciation of what we are going to do. We are trying to raise six thousand but we only have three thousand so keep donating to help the kids in Bali.
