Description of the activity/assignment
This exercise is intended to help link the observations of water and sediment
motion that student made in the laboratory flume with the theory discussed in
lecture. Students use the measurements made to ask some basic questions about what happened in the flume as the discharge was varied by a factor of two.
Designed for a geomorphology course
Determining whether students have met the goals
