On week 9 we will have read the story Suman Crosses the Karnali River and have a guest speaker, a local geotechnical engineer. The book will explore the important affects of location, erosion, and soil type when building structures. The activity at the end of the book will give students the opportunity to act as geotechnical engineers and explore how different soil types withstand certain amounts of force. Students will be able to enjoy this task because it is hands on learning that involves natural materials.
