Curated OER
Field Exercise: Stream Flow Dynamics & Sedimentation
Students produce a vertical profile of a stream and map and define thalweg, point bar, and cut bank. They measure flow velocity differences across a stream transect and equate flow velocity with size of substrate sediment collected.
Curated OER
Floods
Students investigate how hurricanes impact a stream flow. For this floods lesson students predict the impact of storms on animals and interpret data.
