Model erosion and landform processes

The Stream Table Kit brings geomorphology to life—helping students explore Earth’s dynamic processes through direct, memorable investigation. This hands-on system lets students simulate erosion, sedimentation, and river formation in real time, making geomorphology tangible and engaging. By experimenting with water flow, slope, and sediment, learners explore the intricate interactions between land and water that shape Earth’s surface. Built for durability and ease of use, the kit is ideal for classroom tables or lab benchtops and includes a plastic tray, drain trough, support, and siphon tube. Dimensions: 48" × 15" × 2.5".

Why Teachers Love the Stream Table Kit

Highly visual and interactive: Students see landscapes change as processes occur—not just after the fact.
Supports inquiry-based learning: Easily vary flow rate, slope, and sediment to test predictions and compare outcomes.
Classroom-ready durability: Sturdy, user-friendly design stands up to repeated use in busy labs.
Complete, simple setup: Includes all core components needed to run investigations without extra equipment.

What You Can Teach with the Stream Table Kit

Ideal for upper elementary through high school Earth science, environmental science, and STEM courses:

Erosion and deposition: Observe how moving water transports and deposits sediment.
River systems: Model channels, meanders, deltas, and floodplains.
Landform development: Investigate how slope and flow shape valleys and basins.
Cause-and-effect in Earth systems: Connect variables (water speed, sediment load) to resulting landforms.
Scientific practices: Design experiments, collect observations, and explain patterns using evidence.
