Students learned all about how sewage moves out of our homes today. A great question to ask your child is this: "If our home is connected to sewer pipes, what keeps the sewer smell out of our home?" Students also toured a variety of tools and parts associated with our toilets (auger, plunger, P-trap, etc.)
Each team claimed a new city in their region today. The newest challenge has the kids starting their new city in an arid landscape, so they immediately need to start making good decisions regarding water supply and usage.
In SketchUp, students took their home layout drawings and converted them to 3D models complete with color-coded walls where water pipes are housed.
