In this lesson, students will be asked to predict the movement of water over defined landforms. Students will have the opportunity to use an Augmented Reality (AR) sandbox to see how water flows over landforms and how the motion changes when the landscape changes. Students will then have the opportunity to view a second model, stream tables, to see erosion and sedimentation in real-time.

MS-ES2-2: Construct an explanation based on evidence for how geoscience processes have changed Earth’s surface at varying time and spatial scales.
Students will engage in a STEM challenge to design a truck powered by a chemical reaction that will have to stop within a specific drop-off zone. Teams will be challenged with various payloads to earn bonus points if they can stop in the drop-off zone.
