As second graders wrap-up their geotechnical engineering unit, they are putting everything they've learned into action! As geotecnical engineers, they must recommend a location where the TarPul should be built. They want the TarPul to hold a lot of weight and be built in safe, strong soil that is unlikely to erode.
However, sometimes the closest locations to where there is a need are too dangerous, and the community must be educated about how the soil conditions could be changed...at a cost. Just because soil compaction strengthens the soil doesn't mean it's free. Second graders are weighing all the options and testing their ideas. They are then using all the data to communicate their final decision!
