This is a fantastic activity if you’re looking at measuring, averages, or calculations. Students will measure the rate of the flow of a river using sticks, a measured distance, a stop watch, and calculator (depending on the level of challenge you want to provide). Before starting the activity, get the students to estimate the rate of flow and record it on the sheets. Measure out a distance of 10 meters along the river and mark the start and end with something (a bag, cones, etc.). Get students to drop a stick into the water at the start of the 10 meters and time how long it takes for the stick to reach the end of the marked section, recording their results in the table. Get them to repeat this 4 times so that they have 4 results. Once they have a set of results they can figure out the averages before moving onto figure out the flow rate by either following the formulas or figuring them out for themselves.
