A science teacher gives his class a design challenge. The students must act as the engineers of a coastal city and create a levee to protect the city from flooding during a hurricane. Each student designs a prototype and brings his or her prototype to class to be tested. To test each levee, the students place it in the middle of a container. One side of the container represents where the city is and one side represents where the water needs to be held. The students fill the appropriate side of the container with water to test the strength of the levee. Which of the following describes the point of failure for a levee design?

• The levee is taller than it needs to be to keep water out of the city.

• The levee gets very wet but holds the water on one side of the container.

• The levee allows some water to cross to the other side of the container.

• The levee keeps the city dry but the water almost comes over the top of the levee.
