Gr9 How to Build a Dam by Kim Shumlansky https://padlet.com/kimshumlansky1_1/zhanpce38ecazvte Reflecting on how we study/learn en-us 2022-04-25 06:26:28 UTC 2025-10-22 19:17:02 UTC hello@padlet.com Use Natural Dam Builders kimshumlansky1_1 https://padlet.com/kimshumlansky1_1/zhanpce38ecazvte/wish/2156005618 First we get some beavers.
Then we ask the beavers to gather sticks and limbs.
Then the beavers pile up the sticks and limbs and weave them together and add mud to make a solid wall of debris.
Then we celebrate our new dam with some cake and punch.

You build a dam by firstly making a plan. Starting with a barrier restricting a source of water into two. And that must have a some sort of flow passing by]]> 2022-04-25 07:05:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kimshumlansky1_1/zhanpce38ecazvte/wish/2156048224 Abi and Liam https://padlet.com/kimshumlansky1_1/zhanpce38ecazvte/wish/2156050422 Reservoir a large amount of water of water in a basin. Block this water from flowing via a damn structure and make several small access points where the water will flow through. In the middle of these slipways install several hydro electric turbines.
