Description
Students acquire the knowledge
of the river systems by investigating the concepts of erosion,
pollution, toxic waste, and human manipulation of rivers. They also
gain an understanding of controlled experimentation by creating models
representing the river system. This is done by using a dripper system
and diatomaceous earth. They are better able to understand rivers as
dynamic, ever-changing systems by doing this experiment.
