Why Does the Nile flow Away from the Equator?

Today we found out thanks to Ms. Harris and her amazing hands on lesson.
First students took notes on the unique features of the Nile. Then students made their own drawing of it. Next students made a model of a section of the Nile using play dough. Finally students put their section of the Nile together with the rest of the classes and came up with an impressive realistic model of the worlds largest River. After we put it together, Ms. Harris poured water over it and we watched the river flow "North". Pretty cool!

Students then went to Thinkquest.org and posted a message about what they learned and how they learned it.
