Summary
Flood! is an Event-Based Science module about stream dynamics. It
uses the Great Flood of 1993 to establish the context for exploring
concepts related to streams and their eroding force.he task in Flood!
places students in the roles of developers of River National
Park. Students will acquire then use their knowledge of erosion and
deposition, the features of ... streams and rivers of different ages, and
map-reading skills to design a new park. The park, along the St. Joe
River in Idaho, will demonstrate to the lay-public the dynamic force
of a wild river.

As with all Event-Based Science modules, much of the information
that students need is provided in the pages of Flood!. However, more
information is needed. Information about current floods will add to
the authenticity of your study. Information about the area around the
St. Joe will also add to the authenticity of their products.
