Stream Tables

Erosion, deltas, meanders, canyons, plateaus and more! Today we built stream tables and watched erosion up close!  How was the Grand Canyon formed?  How do scientists know erosion played a part?  Can we pick up the Grand Canyon and bring to a science lab?  Can Earth Scientists stand in the middle of the Grand Canyon and watch erosion happen?

Aw!!  Maybe they use a model??

Next, the kids built Stream Tables.

I have to say...the kids did a GREAT job with this investigation!  They were focused and working hard.  I was super proud of them.  Next, every group shared what they observed.
