"Stream Table: Observations and Analysis"

Bellwork:
1) Which process sets down eroded materials: deposition, cementation, erosion, compaction?
2) Sedimentary rock forms when sediments ____________________.
3) Sedimentary rocks form due to: A) Heat, erosion, and pressure OR B) Erosion, deposition, and compaction

- Review landforms and the results of yesterday's stream table simulation
1) Stream flow rate: the flood scenario caused more erosion than normal water flow because more water washes away more sediments
2) Stream bed materials: in the heterogeneous plateau made of 2 kinds of rock, the middle layer protected the bottom layer from being eroded
- Observe the actual stream table in action
- Diagram what you see on workbook page 55 and label the landforms you see
- Complete the analysis of what you saw on workbook page 57
- Exit Slip: complete the sheet handed out by Ms. Davis
