STEM in Action® Shrinking Shore Exploration

Students explore the power of ocean waves and come up with a model to protect the beach from erosion. By using critical thinking, communication, and collaboration to protect a model beach from erosion, students prepare for essential skills of the 21st century. Students work through the Engineering Design Process – to learn the value of rethinking and supporting multiple solutions.
