experiment 2: deposition

 Question: What happens to the land that gets eroded?


Hypothesis: The land follows the river downstream until the hole.


Materials:Fine sand, rough sand, clay, 3 cups of water, ruler, stream table, beaker.


Procedure:1. mix fine and rough sand with clay; 2. make the sand flat; 3. put the water in the beaker; 4. wait for the results


Observation:20 seconds: water is making a river. 52 seconds: Making a fast river. 1 minute 23 seconds: going down really fast. 1 minute 40 seconds: water is at the end of the river. 1min 50 sec it creates a new land at the end of the river. 3 min 30 sec: it made a huge land. and it made canyon. 5 min 10 sec it made a huge huge huge land made out of the sand in the canyon at the end of the river. ? min, the water is starting to fall. 5 min 50 sec it made a river on a new land. 6 min 50 sec: it stopped.
