Meandering Rivers

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

This "old school" video is of a teacher using a chalkboard (imagine that!), to illustrate how meandering rivers are created, and how they flow. The teacher does a good job of describing how the meandering river bed changes over time due to the erosion of the riverbanks that takes place at the curves of the river. The formation of oxbow lakes is also described in great detail.
