“Everything is so linear, but this makes me think diagonally!” ~ a student describing Byrdseed.TV
Students will research and analyze four rivers, finding at least one reason why each one is not like the others.
Research the Nile, Amazon, Mississippi, and Yangtze rivers and explain why each one is unique.
Discover how the Nile flows northward, the Amazon has over a thousand tributaries, the Mississippi shaped the steamboat era, and the Yangtze powers the Three Gorges Dam.
Students will judge using criteria and determine which type of precipitation wins the tournament.
First, students work through the initial round of the tournament.
Then, they complete the remaining rounds and decide on their winner!
Students will develop a realistic river for their civilization.
