Serc: Mn Step: Stream Velocity Investigation Using Inquiry

Curated by ACT

An outdoor activity where middle schoolers visit a local stream for a scientific inquiry. They make observations about the stream, and take measurements of the stream's velocity, depth, and width. They will also develop a sediment thickness profile from samples they collect, to learn about patterns of erosion and sediment deposits.
