Comparing one table with slope and one without.
Focus Question: How does slope affect erosion and deposition?
We began our 2nd stream-table investigation. We continued to run stream tables to learn how environmental variables can affect erosion and deposition. We investigated how the rate and volume of erosion relate directly to the energy of moving water or wind.
Students were responsible for carefully following the instructions for the investigation while working cooperatively in their group. They were also responsible for taking notes in their science journal.
