What is a Stream Table?

Discover how scientists investigate landforms using stream tables - small models that mimic real stream flows shaping the land. Analyze water flow effects in stream tables to understand weathering, erosion, and deposition phenomena. Explore differences in stream table setups and materials. Learn through experimentation as Mr. Armstrong's class did.

  1. What is a Stream Table?

  2. Investigating with stream tables Scientists learn about landforms by making models. Our model will be a stream table.

  3. A stream table is a small model of how a real stream flow might shape the land.

  4. Once the water flows in the stream table we can analyze to see what happened, and why.

  5. A stream table in a science laboratory is bigger than ours, but works in the same way.

  6. Notice that this stream table is propped up on one end. What difference do you think that will make in the effects of the running water?

  7. What about this stream table? Do you think the effects of running water will be different with all those twigs and stones in it?

  8. We will find out the answers to those questions, like Mr. Armstrong’s class did! See Mr. Armstrong's class' stream table work here

  9. We use stream tables to model weathering, erosion, and deposition. That helps us to better understand our Earth and places like this…….(next page)
