Activity Description
This activity gives students an understanding of how storm surges and rising waters affect people’s homes and how important it is for engineers to design houses that withstand flooding. Students play the role of engineers as they build a model scene of a paper house on a playdough coast and inundate it with flood water to see if the house they made can withstand the rising tide.
