Science - Flood in a tray

This afternoon we participated in a science experiment where we watched what would happen to the houses and surrounding in a flood situation. It was interesting to see that as the water rose the houses closest would be affected first. However when there was strong rain on top of the hill then the dirt eroded, the house foundations became less stable and it resulted in a landslide. We discussed how polluted the water would become as a result of heavy flooding.
