Abstract
A stream table provides a simple, cost-effective method for introducing students to fluvial processes in landscape development. Through modelling, stream tables (flumes) can help students better visualize dynamic channel processes that can be difficult to teach, such as stream meandering, erosion, transportation, and deposition. Because individual parameters can be controlled, the table allows students to examine the effects of individual influences on channel development, such as changes caused by variation in gradient or discharge. The activities outlined here can be expanded for use in introductory or advanced physical geography courses, as classroom demonstrations, or hands-on measurement of fluvial processes.
