Fourth graders at Perry Creek Elementary School got the chance to experience the effects of erosion firsthand.
Students used a full-scale storm water model and sugar cubes to simulate colliding rocks to help better understand how water and earth move.

Instructors from the Career Academy joined students for the lessons.
