Pour water using tabo in the house. (Make sure the volume of the water you pour is in great amount) 5. Use ropes and pegs to make the house stronger then turn the electric fan and pour water again. Then observe. Activity 2 Materials:

soil 2 empty milk cans Procedure 1. Put some soil in each of two empty milk cans. 2. Sprinkle water on the soil. 3. Place the cans of soil where there is sunlight leave them for 2 weeks. Guided Questions: 1. What happened to the house when electric fan was turned to the highest setting? 2. What does the wind from the electric fan represent? 3. What happened when a great amount of water was poured to the house? 4. What does the water in the experiment represent? 5. What happened to the house when you secured it with ropes and pegs? 6.
