At site 1, we use Jake sticks and a tape measure to determine the elevation change and distance between to points. We use this information to determine the gradient at two locations. We then use a ping pong ball and a stop watch to measure stream rate. We compare the gradient and rate at two locations to see if there is a connection between the gradient and rate of the stream. We then use a chart from the Earth Science Reference Tables to determine the largest size sediment that could be moved by the stream a the given location, find a sediment that size, and experiment with it.
