Popis: Fifth grade elementary school students in “Course of Study” learned river processes, such as erosion, transportation, and deposition, as a part of their science curriculum. The experimental apparatus using the melamine-grain that the authors improved for use in classrooms can reflect the processes of the rivers flowing in the mountain areas. By modeling a river using the experimental apparatus to simulate alluvial processes, the authors expected that the students will easily understand processes occurring when water flows through a watercourse. During the class, the students focused on the experimental apparatus to record results. This experimental apparatus can help students quickly learn that sedimentation can create a new land form. Students didn’t understand to these processes of erosion and transportation as well, indicating that some improvements to the instruction regarding to observational perspective are necessary.
