Also, to understand why streams meander, the impact of bank erosion and the value of riparian vegetation, what a flood plain is and how it helps protect against flooding, and the definition of a 'model'-including its limitations for simulating real-world conditions. This activity is suited for students in grades 4 and up. (2 pages)
