This page acts as a springboard to a few activities that address the Utah 8th grade science core. The fluvial geomorphology section has three activities for stream erosion and deposition and for creating a watershed, photos of stream landforms that were formed in the University of Nebraska's laboratory with a stream table, and definitions, descriptions, and photos for alluvial fans, braided stream systems, and meandering stream systems. Another section on measuring the motion of objects, offers a lesson plan for canoe racing and how to measure time and distance, graph the variables and calculate velocity. A third section on boat design is entitled Designing a Boat that Will Optimize Bouyant Force and Provide the Greatest Cargo Weight to Boat Weight Ratio. This is a lesson plan for constructing a boat that will optimize buoyant force. This is done in the context of the Lewis and Clark expedition and also has some great math integration.
