This activity's purpose is to introduce hydrology to eighth grade students by investigating stream discharge of a local stream. The students will make observations about the stream, determine the velocity and discharge of the stream, and develop and carry out an investigation regarding the stream and it's flow. Students will, in small groups, present their findings to the rest of the class.
