2) (a) Using <strong>the</strong> data from your chart on <strong>the</strong> previous page, and <strong>the</strong> Earth<br />
Science Reference Table page 6 “Relationship <strong>of</strong> Transported Particle Size to<br />
Water Velocity” graph, determine <strong>the</strong> size <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sediment <strong>the</strong> stream could carry<br />
at locations A and B. Record both sizes below:<br />
Size <strong>of</strong> particle that should be carried in location A: _________ cm<br />
Size <strong>of</strong> particle that should be carried in location B: _________ cm<br />
Draw to scale a sediment with <strong>the</strong> maximum size that could be transported at<br />
Location A and Location B in <strong>the</strong> space below<br />
Location A<br />
Location B<br />
(b) Using a ruler <strong>the</strong> students found pieces <strong>of</strong> sediment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> approximate<br />
sizes that <strong>the</strong> chart showed could be transported. They took <strong>the</strong> sediment<br />
samples to <strong>the</strong> stream, dropped <strong>the</strong>m in one at a time and observed what<br />
happened.<br />
Here are <strong>the</strong>ir results:<br />
Location A: Of two particles, one particle failed to move, <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r bounced<br />
downstream along <strong>the</strong> bottom.<br />
Location B: Of two particles, one particle failed to move, <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r rolled<br />
downstream along <strong>the</strong> bottom.
