Objective: Students will research the area of the Floyds Fork Watershed during various
seasons to determine how it is affected by area run-off.

Materials: Maps of drainage patterns in the area, topographic maps (obtained from
USGS)
 Procedure:
1. Students will need to research the amount of water flowing in Floyds Fork at a
particular season.
