ABOUT THIS PRODUCT:
Show how braided streams get their distinctive shape with our model!
Our model shows how braided streams form and how they change over time. First, your students build their models of a braided stream near the end of a glacier out of the colorful parts.
Then they use their models to look at how the stream changes through the year. Higher summer temperatures cause more meltwater than winter affecting how much sediment the river can carry.
The model covers bar formation, channel changes, how vegetation stabilizes bars forming islands and the effect of the season on the flow through the river.
Takes about 20 minutes to build the model!
