Ms.Kiley teaching us about the parts of the river

Me drawing a stream on the plastic wrap

On January 27, Ms.Kiley came to my class for lesson 8. She taught us about parts of the river.

One part of the river is the head. The head is the beginning of a stream or river where runoff has cut a channel.

There’s also a valley, canyon, drainage basin, tributary, stream channel, delta, floodplain, and mouth.

For an experiment, Ms.Kiley told us to get our stream tables but she said not to chop and bulldoze. Since last time for lesson 7 we had a 3 hole cup to pour the water and it made a few streams we had to examine the 3 streams that sometimes made a tributary. Then when we where done examinating,  Ms.Kiley put plastic wrap on top of our stream table. She did that so we can draw the streams and how they looked on the plastic wrap with markers.

My group had 3 streams with one stream repeling then connecting again. Ms.Kiley took off the plastic wrap. She put it on a table so we could see how it looked. And that is lesson 8 with Ms. Kiley.
