Beach Erosion

We did an Inquiry Activity to learn about beach erosion.
First we created a beach with sand. Then we added water so that it just touched the sand.
Next we took an empty water bottle and created waves. Lastly we were able to observe that the waves washed away the sand into the water - simulating what happens over time with beach erosion.
Hope you enjoy watching us in action!













Essential Question: What happens to a beach when water and waves touch the sand?

I'll leave you with this joke:Q: What gets wetter the more it dries?
A: A towel!
