Stream Velocity and Discharge (Virtual Raft Trip)

Lesson Type:	Classroom lesson
Standards:	Physical Sciences Life Sciences
Keywords:	Ecosystems Geology Water
Description:	Students will have the opportunity to study stream dynamics by making a model stream and raft. Students gain an understanding of the units describing quantitative stream characteristics. Students design experiments to measure stream flow. Students recognize that volume of water in a stream can vary and observe the effects of this variation in a system. Students relate stream flow to weather conditions and the water cycle
