


Students will use stream tables and perform several tests to determine how the
angle, volume of water and type of material determines the formation of a river.
Students will see the erosional and depositional processes at work. Students will
design investigations of their own to further their understanding of these
phenomena.
Students will create a type of sedimentary rock.
Students will look at the process of erosion through other means, such as friction,
gravity and weather phenomena.
No Homework
