Sediment Tubes

Louise Huffman, Kennedy Jr. High


In this activity, students will observe how different density soils and rocks behave in wind and in water. They will make predictions and careful observations as they learn about sediment transport and sediment rates in streams and rivers. Upper junior high and high school science classes can extend the activity to include environmental discussions of agricultural runoff, turbidity measurements, and/or colloids in solutions that never settle out.
