The Friesland as a machine
Look at the buckets, drive and conveyor line as one connected system. Ask which parts can move and how the dredged spoil was carried away.
The BaggerPraktijkTuin
In the BaggerPraktijkTuin, ask which parts of the dredging process are explained or demonstrated. Compare that explanation with a major project that is mentioned, without assuming a specific display.
