Show your class how river meanders form and change with our colourful model!
Our model shows how meanders form in rivers and how they change over time due to erosion and deposition. First, your students make their models of 3 different stages of a river meander out of the colourful parts.

Then they use their models to look at the features of a meander in a river and to see how the meander migrates across a flood plain over time. The model covers point bar, slip-off slope, cut bank, river cliffs, lateral erosion and alluvial channels.
