CANAL PROJECT
Due Wednesday, February
10th
You
have watched videos and read about canals in New Jersey and around the
world. Now it’s time for you to create
your own canal. Are you up for the challenge?
Use
your book and watch the videos below to review how canals
work. Be creative – use any materials
you want to create your canal – twigs, clay, play dough, building blocks,
legos, etc. If you don’t want to make a
3D model, you can also make a drawing of how a canal works. Your family can help you, but the majority
of the work should be done by you.
For
your project, you should include at least:
One
lower level
One
upper level
A
lock
A
boat
Your project does not need to use water to show how it works, but it should show
how a lock works in a canal.
Your project is due by Wednesday, February
10th – if you complete it early, feel free to bring it into class. You will present your canal project to the
class. Have fun!!!
