Description

<p>Flume experiments as well as direct field observations, are an efficient technique for teaching geoscience and environmental lessons. While a useful handmade flume has been proposed previously, there was no attempt to use the flume for science classes as a teaching aid. The aim of this study is to develop teaching materials on the basis of a comparison between flume experiments and the stratigraphic architecture created by delta formation, and to estimate the effectiveness of teaching materials based on their use in a science class. The result of the comparison showed that more than half the students understood the features of delta formation and took them into account in their future reasoning. However, some students did not understand them well. This suggests that the teaching materials used will be more useful if improvements are made in response to the success of their use in a science class.</p>
