Rivers 1/11-1/17
Summary:
Rivers are very important natural resources. They help ecosystems flourish. The water in rivers is pulled to the lowest point by gravity. Rivers have a lot of different parts. The mouth, the channel, the tributary, confluence, and meander are just to name a few.Rivers are also able to carry heavy things for humans. Rivers can erode and deposit sediment. Without rivers, life today as we know it would not be the same.
SP2: Developing and using models:
I worked on multiple diagrams of rivers when I was learning the vocabulary of rivers. I was able to label the different parts of a river. (mouth,channel,tributary,etc.) This helped me understand where all the different parts were and what they do for the river. I can now understand how the river works, why it works and what it does for the ecosystem. All the parts of the river and its surroundings are very important when you are learning about rivers. Using diagrams really helps you learn the complex vocabulary that goes along with studying rivers.
