Yesterday we played a game called dam it. We started out by Shane putting the hose by the water. Then we built little houses and other buildings and Shane turned on the water and we could not touch anything for three minutes, it was so tempting to touch the blocks and move them around. Then after those long… 3 minutes we finally got to move sand and blocks around. We made a main river down to the water and I learned why people fight over water because Josie was also trying to make another river down to the water and she was taking our water so we had to make a solution about that. Something that I learned is that where the sand is thinner the water flows faster, also that fast flowing water can make dams very easily. One thing that Shane told us is that farmers dig very deep pits and put pig poop in them and it makes this very gross pig slime, and farmers are trying to move the pig slime because hurricane Florence will blow it everywhere and it will get all over buildings and the farmers would get charged fines.
Rivers cause a lot of erosion because water can move sand and dirt around easily. I learned that the United states is taking water from the Colorado river and it is starting to dry up before it evan gets to Mexico, because of theUnited states.

This is an excellent post Dylann! I can tell you really thought hard about our Dam It project and learned a lot. Water wars are very real as you experienced. And we are often contaminating our watershed with manure and a lot of other icky things. Thunderstorms are awesome and can be complicated to explain. The atmosphere gets charged as well as the Earth. When enough electrons build up that are oppositely charged a giant spark happens which is lightning. That is the short version:)!
