Flood Defenders: 3rd and 4th class (ages 8 to 10)

Why does the Poddle flood, and what is Dublin doing about it? Children look at hundreds of years of floods and test how roads, parks and soil soak up rain. Then they design a flood defence of their own.

Inside (10 pages): Why does the Poddle flood?, Floods through history, an Experiment: hard or soft? (sponge, soil and plate), Flood numbers, The flood scheme, Design a flood defence, True or false?, Stay safe and a quiz.

The experiments work on a tray or outdoors. It links to science, geography and SPHE.
