Students examine debris, what it is, where it comes from and where they go.  In this debris lesson students view a video, answer questions and discuss what they learned.

Students study urban runoff. They identify the urban runoff in a simulated area and determine peak flows using charted data. Finally, they discuss possible causes of the differences in flow rates.

Students examine urban runoff and identify peak flows. They examine causes for different flow rates, and complete worksheets and a graph.
