Description
In this Google Slides™ digital lab activity, the students will determine the ability of a stream to erode and deposit sediments depending on the water velocity. They will learn about erosional and depositional stream features such as V-shaped valleys, deltas, flood plains, and meanders as they take a virtual field trip and follow a river from the mountains to the ocean. This is an interactive lab activity with drag & drop features, videos, stream tables demos, and graphing.
Learning Objectives: By the end of this lab activity, the students will be able to:
- Describe the role of sediment size and stream velocity in the erosional and depositional processes.
- Identify stream erosional and depositional features.
- Use the “Relationship of Transported Particle Size to Water Velocity” graph on page #6 of the New York State (NYS) Earth Science Reference Tables (ESRT).
ESL Strategies:
- This lab activity is scaffolded for English Language Learners (ELLs): Each slide contains a “Translate” hyperlink button to translate the text into any language supported by Google Translate.
- It includes sentence starters to help ELLs structure their answers. The document is editable so you can remove the sentence starters if your students don’t need them.
- The video is available in English and Spanish.
Standards: The level of this lab is perfect for 8th grade or high school. This lab activity aligns with NGSS HS-ESS2-5 and New York State Physical Setting/Earth Science Earth Science Core Curriculum: 2.1t, 2.1u, and 2.1v.
- NYS Regents Skills/Content: The students will use the “Relationship of Transported Particle Size to Water Velocity” graph on ESRT page 6.
Editable: You can edit this lab activity.
