5E Instructional Model Plan:

Patterns of Erosion and Deposition in Streams 5E Instructional Model Plan

Plan for teaching about stream formation, using the 5E Instructional Model as a framework

5-7 days

The dynamic nature of streams is vital to civilizations, providing civilizations with drinking water and water for farming. Running water transports more material on Earth's surface than any other agent of erosion. In this 5E sequence students learn about the patterns of erosional-depositional systems in streams through observations of a stream table. Students will also work to develop their own explanation as to how rivers and streams work to constantly alter the surface of Earth.
