Water Erosion: Experiment Three- Flood

Question: What happens to the land when the force of water is increased.

Hypothesis: I think the water won't have time to make a hole and it will just go straight over the sand.

Materials: 1 ruler, 1 bucket with a hole, one bucket without a hole, measuring cup, rough sand, clay, fine sand wood piece.

Procedure: 
1. Set up experiment by: having one side higher than the other, a ruler holding up a cup that the water was falling from, and a hole at the end of the tray where the water came out from.
2. We poured the water into the cup with the hole, so the water would slowly spill onto the sand and erode it.

Observation:

1. the water went way faster than before.
2. The water falling has made a big hole really quickly.
3. Water ran out three times as fast as before.
4. the water  made a tunnel in the sand.
5. the water is done, and it didn't make a canyon like before.

Conclusion: The water didn't have time to make a canyon.
