Orchard Park Public School, Grades 5&6 Burlington, Ontario
Grade 5/6 students from Orchard Park Public School created a STEAM based model to help prevent flooding in their school yard. To help guide their design, students first researched flooding and conducted hands-on experiments to explore water behaviour across different landscapes. They tested how the shape of water bodies and speed of water affected flow and accumulation. Students also experimented with permeable, semi-permeable, and impermeable surfaces to develop their final model, including features such as; added trees and plants to help with water absorption, and improved drainage systems.
