Polder Analysis

Students answer open-ended questions about polder regions-areas of land reclaimed from the sea and protected by dikes. They explain how polders are created, describe farming and travel in these areas, and analyze how communities protect land from rising water levels. The worksheet encourages students to discuss water management challenges and planning in reclaimed land regions. This activity strengthens analytical thinking, supports written explanations, and deepens understanding of how the Netherlands adapts to its environment.
