Lab-Aids® Modeling Stream Erosion & Deposition

Lab-Aids Modeling Stream Erosion & Deposition

Student groups use a Lab-Aids® Mini Stream Table to investigate the dynamics of stream erosion and deposition. Using specially engineered materials, students will create, observe, describe, and interpret the erosional and depositional patterns created when “rainwater” flows over an area. Some of the features commonly formed include canyons, braided streams, and deltas. Designed for a class size of 24 students which can be divided into 6 groups. Contents include: 6 Lab-Aids® Three-piece Mini Stream Tables (stream bed, stand, catch basin), 6 Lab-Aids® Rainmakers, 6 30-mL graduated cups, 6 plastic spoons, 6 plastic cups (9 oz.), 2 bottles of Lab-Aids® Stream Sand (400 CC), and 1 SDS (Safety Data Sheet) packet.
