Front

How could you test ideas about how the slope affects how the channel looks using this stream table?

Back

Adjust the legs

Front

If you adjust the legs so there is a steep slope, how will that affect the channel?

Back

It will make the channel deeper and narrower

Front

How could you use this stream table to test the idea that smaller grains of sand lead to deep, narrow rivers?

Back

He could place smaller grains of sand in the table to see how that affects the channel.

Front

If we lowered the adjustable legs to make the slope shallower, what effects would we see on the channel?

Back

The channel would become shallower and wider

Front

What results of the model would be evidence that it is a very steep hill that affects the channel?

Back

They test the slope by steadily making it steeper and see how that affects it, then test the size of the sand grains separately at a fixed slope.
