What were the two earth materials we used in our stream table labs?

• Clay and gravel

• Sand and clay

• Gravel and silt

• Pebbles and soil

In our stream table labs, which material traveled farther and why?

• Gravel because it is heavier

• Sand because it is more cohesive

How far did the earth materials travel in Table B?

• 35 cm

• 10 km

• 5 miles

• 20 meters

A group of students ran two stream tables. They wanted to know if slope would affect how far the earth materials traveled. They set up one stream table with a standard setup (flat slope) and put a wood block under the other to create a slope. They measured the distance the earth materials traveled in both tables. One students' observations and measurements of the stream tables are shown here. Based on the results, choose the table that had the slope.

• Table A

• Table B

• Both Table A and Table B

• Neither Table A nor Table B
