Hold the Load Sample Questions

1. Why would water move faster when the lowland is just soil?

2. Why does water get a chance to return to the upland to collect more load? (This should lead to a discussion about the water cycle.)

3. When the plants threw the load pieces, some landed within the lowland. What might these represent?

4. How much load does water have if it moves through just soil?

5. Why would water move more slowly when plants are present?

6. How much load does water lose when it moves through an area with a few plants? With more plants?
