Watershed Evaluation and Analysis

The video tutorial explores watersheds using a 3D topography map. It demonstrates how water flows from different points on the map, including the highest and lowest points, and simulates a storm to observe water movement. The video encourages students to evaluate whether the observed areas form a single watershed and to make predictions about the impact of placing structures like dams. Students are invited to explore the 3D map in person for a better understanding.

What is the purpose of the 3D topography map in the video demo?

• To track wildlife

• To measure temperature

• To explore watersheds

• To predict weather patterns

What is the first task you are asked to do with the map?

• Measure the temperature

• Identify wildlife

• Sketch the map on your data sheet

• Predict the weather

What happens when water is dropped at the lowest point of the map?

• It evaporates immediately

• It forms a lake

• It flows in the path of least resistance

• It stays still

What is observed when water is dropped on the highest point of the map?

• It evaporates

• It forms a whirlpool

• It flows in one direction only

• It takes one of two pathways

What is the effect of pouring water across the map to mimic a storm?

• It causes the map to flood

• It forms new pathways and bodies of water

• It dries up immediately

• It has no effect

What are you asked to evaluate regarding the watershed?

• The wildlife in the area

• The temperature of the water

• Whether it is part of a single watershed

• The color of the water

What should you identify in the watershed evaluation?

• The temperature changes

• The tributaries flowing into the main body of water

• The color variations

• The wildlife species

What is one of the tasks mentioned in the conclusion?

• Measuring temperature

• Predicting the impact of a dam

• Identifying wildlife

• Predicting the weather

What is encouraged at the end of the video?

• To write a report

• To read a book

• To come into the room to see the 3D map

• To watch another video

What is the main focus of the video demo?

• Predicting weather patterns

• Exploring watersheds and water flow

• Measuring temperature

• Tracking wildlife
