Criteria: (desired features or outcomes)
- Must form a barrier between a body of water and a the Lego city.

- Materials: You may only use the materials your teacher suggests and your parents approve.
- Time: you must build your model within the time limit that your parent or guardian sets.
- Cost: You can only spend $10 on the materials.
First, use Legos to build a model city.
Then, use the materials you purchased to to build a model levee with the intent of protecting the Lego city from flooding.
Take a before picture and send it to your teacher.
After that, pour in 2 cups of water.
Take an after picture and send it to your teacher.
