Macey´s Answers to:
Katelyn 2: I think people in Egypt built dams with rocks because in the text I can infer that they made the first dam a really long time ago because in the text it says that people have become more advanced and built better dams, so the Egyptians didn´t know how to build dams then.

Would that effect the animals and the water cycle if the water isn't clean? If this happens this could effect the water in the future. The water is not clean because it is just sitting in the would/dam/mud this can effect the whole water cycle.
- Do they use any different non nature materials than the beavers? The beavers can only use nature to help them build dams and they have a lot more skills and experience since they have been making them for thousands of years so they have been making dams longer Than humans have. The text stated that egyptians were among the first to make dams and even they failed so beavers have a lot more skills.]]> 2018-03-14 17:12:46 UTC https://padlet.com/scottal2/olid89yaorf2/wish/242003004 https://padlet.com/scottal2/olid89yaorf2/wish/242006186 Wasn't the Hoover Dam named after someone?]]> 2018-03-14 17:18:15 UTC https://padlet.com/scottal2/olid89yaorf2/wish/242006186 https://padlet.com/scottal2/olid89yaorf2/wish/242007025 Beavers probably needed to start building dams for their homes and for nature. They do a lot to help our society if we did not have dams to block the water from flowing there would be so much water in the earth. And a lot of fish and animals would be in the water, so it could change the whole cycle.

Carmen answering Roman
 Beavers are named beavers because they don't just build dams they do a lot more things, like take care of their family.
