The hypothesis is that the artificial mangrove swamp will absorb the impact of tsunami waves better than the man-made barrier.

You will set up a tsunami simulator using a water tank, sand bag, and pieces of plywood. You will drop the sand bag from the ramp and measure how far the wave travels on shore.

You will need a water tank of dimensions 2 meters x 1 meter x 0.3 meter, a sand bag that weighs 3 kg, pieces of plywood of various dimensions, enough water to fill the tank, a box of clay or play dough, 10 bricks, a protractor and a ruler.

The results showed that the artificial grass (representing the mangrove swamp) absorbed the impact of tsunami waves more effectively than the man-made barrier. This suggests that mangrove swamps are very effective in stopping the onslaught of tsunami waves.

This science project is interesting and unique because it tests the effectiveness of different barriers in stopping tsunamis. It also shows how mangrove swamps can be used to protect coastlines from the destructive power of tsunamis.

Consider using a larger water tank with a greater depth, and vary the gradient of the shore.

Hey there! Here are some awesome videos about this science project that we think you'll really like. They're not only super fun, but they'll also help you learn more about the science behind the project. So sit back, relax, and get ready to have some fun!!
