K-12 STEM

Emriver stream tables are dynamic and engaging hands-on laboratories that put science, technology, engineering, and math into action. An interdisciplinary approach to teaching how rivers work creates good stewards of natural resources and prepares students for careers in STEM fields. At least a dozen students can view and work with the Em2 stream table at the same time, and the larger Em3 and Em4 simulated river systems can be viewed by larger groups. Emriver stream tables engage students in lessons, experiments, and discussions about topics such as:

• 地質学：河川地形学、河川の働き、侵食、堆積、蛇行、勾配、流路移動、連続性
• 環境科学：人間活動が河川に与える影響、計画（例：氾濫原の開発）
• 数学：水流と流量の測定、ハイドログラフの作成と読み取り
• 工学：ダム、暗渠、その他の構造物が河川に与える影響
• テクノロジー：フォトグラメトリーを使用して河川システムの3Dモデルを作成する

指導と実演

• Little River’s Emriver Lab Manual contains lessons that can be adapted for the appropriate age group
• Stream Table Lesson Packet for grades 3-6 developed by Jennifer Guarino, Ecotone Education, and Larry Kasden, Ottauquechee Natural Resources Conservation District
• Watershed on Wheels Environmental Education Program: Lessons by Silvio O. Conte National Fish & Wildlife Refuge and the Vermont Institute of Natural Science:

河川地形学の基本原理を教え、専門用語を紹介し、水が環境中を循環する仕組みを復習または紹介し、最後の氷河期以降に川がどのように形成されたかを理解・探求し、分水界の概念と侵食の特性を探求する。.
