This is our science investagation about rivers.

1. Rivers! What makes a river flow faster or slower? By Sandy, Fiona, Brianna and Zia

3. Our hypothesis. Our hypothesis is: More water makes it go faster and less water makes it go slower. Less Water(400mls) More Water(800mls)

4. How did we test it? We tested it by using water, a pipe, stopwatch and a jug. Then we put the water into the jug and then poured the water in the pipe and we put the stick in it and timed how fast the stick went down.

5. Our results.

6. Our Conclusion. Our Result showed that our Hypothesis was right because the more water makes it go faster and the less water makes it go slower. Example: We Had 400mls and the time was 1.22sec. Then we had 800mls and the time was 0.91sec. 400mls 800mls

9. Other information. A river is a natural stream of water larger then a brook or creak. A stream or a river is formed when ever water moves down hill one place to an another. This means that most of the rivers starts up high in the mountains.

10. Social Action. We are going to make a sign and put it down at the river. To do that we would have to put a propose if they say yes we can then we would have to carve the writing into a piece of wood and put it on the pole.
