Stream Table Investigations






This week we continued using stream tables to help us investigate how rivers, canyons, gorges, and deltas form. We looked at what types of variables impact their size and their depth. During our guided investigations we focused on the amount of water (standard to flood) and the slope of the land. After we completed the guided investigations, it was time for us to design a few of our own. We looked at how structures, the amount of water, and the geography of the land can affect the flow of the water.
