Experiment 3: Flood

FLOOD

Question: what happens when the force of water is increased?

Hypothesis: I think there is going to be a flood and the water will go out of the land.

Materials:

• 2 buckets 
• 1 ruler 
• wood piece 
• ruffle sand 
• clay 
• fine sand 
• water 
• stream table 
• Bucket with small hole
• Big bucket  

    
Procedure: First we got the stream table and with the clay, fine sand and the ruffle sand we putted inside the stream table. Then we put the ruler on top of the stream table and then on top of the ruler we put the bucket with the small hole in the bottom. We put the wood piece on the bottom of the stream table and then we put the big bucket under the stream table.

Observation: Because the sand was all ready wet from the previous experiment I could see all the sand slowly coming down as the drops of water that came down with the bucket. It looked like the sand was melting as the stream of water went down the hole and inside the bucket that could hold the water that went out of the stream table. I also saw that when the water came down the bucket under a small hole was forming and it was getting deeper and wider as more water came down. The water actually created a flood.

Conclusion: Also this time my hypothesis was right because as I explained in the Observation part I said that the water created a flood and there was a lot of water coming down and it was too much that it had to  make flood.
