How to Build a Watershed for a School Project

school project 3d river model

How to Make a River Basin as a School Project

Studying the effects of pollution on the environment from a text book is one thing. Seeing those effects first hand is a different experience altogether. You can duplicate the effects without actually polluting the environment by building a model watershed. Building a model watershed will showcase the negative effects of pollution while providing a fun school project.

Pack the foam into the plastic bin so that it resembles a nature scene. One side of the bin will be higher than the other to represent mountains or other high elevation areas.

Press a small basin into the foam on the lower side to create a minter lake. Push down hard enough so that the foam stays in place and does not resume its original shape.

Wedge a small river running from the higher side of the basin down to the miniature lake by compressing the foam with your fingers. Alternatively, you may want to cut a small river out of the foam with a knife. Be careful to always cut away from your own body.

Cover the entire surface of your miniature watershed with aluminum foil. You may need to use more than one sheet. Glue another scrap of aluminum foil over any areas which tear while covering your model.

Glue your model buildings to the aluminum foil. Place the models in between the lake and the mountains. Verify that your buildings do not block the flow of the river.

Place bits of colored gelatin between the buildings and the river. Just put a little bit by each building. This represents pollution.

Spray water onto your model with the spray bottle. This represents rain. Watch how the water flows into the river and carries the gelatin into the lake.

Things You'll Need

If you don't want to use gelatin, you can use dry dirt or small pebbles to represent the pollution.

Perform your demonstration in a clear area.

Avoid spraying too much, otherwise the water might run over the borders of your model.

Step-by-Step Directions for Making a Volcano for a School Project

How to Build a Model River

Things you'll need.

Celluclay papier-mache

Recycled plastic container

Acrylic paint (burnt sienna, light and dark blue, white, black and varied green colors)

Plastic gloves

Plastic spoon and knife

Paint brushes

Small stones

White tacky craft glue

Lichen and Spanish moss

...

You may need to build a model river for a class project, job visual or diorama that features a boat model. The river will be the focal point that splits down the middle of the foundation board. Hand mold a mountain and the land that the river runs through when you build a model river project. You can use a topographical map as a guide for the land mass and area layout of a real river.

...

Place a piece of plywood on to your work surface. The plywood should be a size that is manageable for the project and its future use. For instance, if it is a school project, a piece that measures 16-by-20 inches would be appropriate, particularly if the student must transport it on a school bus.

Video of the Day

...

Mix Celluclay papier-mache according to package directions or a home-made papier-mache recipe in a plastic container. Add a drop or two each of burnt sienna and black acrylic paint into the mix and blend well. Scoop Celluclay out of the bucket with your hands and spread it on to the plywood piece. Mold the mountainous area first then work your way down on to the lower hilly or flat land region. Remember to keep the land high enough to create a riverbed indentation area.

...

Form the sides of the riverbed with your fingers, and a plastic spoon and knife. Keep perspective as you start in the higher land area which is in the distance, making a small width for the riverbed. Dip your gloved fingers into water and smooth the riverbed area out. Widen the sides of the riverbed area as you get closer to the center and with the widest at the end of the scene in the front of the foundation piece.

...

Press a few stones into the sides and center of the river bed area while the clay is soft.

...

Cover the moist Celluclay of the land area with a sheet of crinkled wax paper. Press into the material, lift away. Look for the texture of the wrinkles in the Celluclay. Press this texture in to the area as needed.

...

Use acrylic paints to paint the entire land mass, mountain and river banks. Paint the river area with a deep blue color.

...

Adhere any small sticks or stones on to the land. Add pieces of lichen or Spanish moss to represent bushes and small trees.

...

Brush light blue paint on to the dark blue river paint with a dry brush. Add small splashes of white where the water hits up against the rocks and creates whitecaps or foam.

Do not use the food container after you've mixed Celluclay in it.

What is a river?

A river is the path that water takes as it flows downhill towards the ocean. Rivers can be long or short, wide or narrow and they often join together on their way downstream to make bigger rivers. Lots of animals live in or by rivers and people often find them a good place to live too.

Rivers can be used for lots of good things, like sailing boats on them to trade goods with other towns on the river, and farming on land that has been made fertile by the river, but when there are heavy rains and the river is very full they can be dangerous; rivers do a lot of damage when they flood.

Top 10 facts

  • Rivers carry rainwater from hills downhill to other rivers, lakes or the ocean.
  • The start of a river is called the source and the end is called the mouth.
  • Many rivers and streams will join together before they reach the mouth of the river. The smaller rivers and streams are called tributaries .
  • A fast flowing river will carry soil and dirt from its banks and bed downstream and drop them when it gets wider and slows down.
  • When there is too much water in a river it floods and covers the area around it water. Sometimes this water is a deep as person or a house is tall.
  • Floods cause a lot of damage but they also deposit nutrients from the water on the flooded land. This makes land that floods good for farming on.
  • Rivers can be difficult and dangerous to cross. Towns often grow up where there are bridges or safe places to walk across.
  • The longest river in the world is the Nile in Africa. It is 4,130 miles long.
  • The longest rivers in Britain are the Severn (220 miles long) and the Thames (215 miles long).
  • The river that carries the most water in the world is the Amazon in South America. The Amazon carries 210,000 cubic metres of water into the sea every second.

Did you know?

  • Water always flows downhill. When rain falls, it runs down the sides of hills into rivers in the bottom of the valleys between the hills. Rain and rivers are part of the water cycle.
  • When it rains some of the water is absorbed into the soil and helps plants to grow, some of the water sinks deep into the ground and some of it flows into rivers and down to the sea.
  • The end of a river is called the mouth. Some rivers flow into the sea but other rivers flow into lakes or bigger rivers.
  • The start of a river is called the source. The source of a river is the furthest point on the river from its mouth.
  • Many rivers are formed when rain flows down from hills but sometimes the source is a lake, sometimes it is a marsh or a bog and sometimes it is a spring where water comes up from the ground.
  • When two rivers meet they will join together and form a single bigger river. Before a big river reaches the sea, it will be joined by lots and lots of smaller rivers. We call these rivers its tributaries.
  • Most of the water we drink is taken out of rivers as they pass through our towns. We have to clean it first though, before we can drink it.
  • When rivers are flowing fast, they knock bits of earth from the banks and bed of the river (its sides and bottom) and carry it downstream with them. When earth is taken from the banks of the river this is called erosion , and the soil that is carried downstream is called silt.
  • When the weather is rainy for a long time, the ground will become waterlogged and not be able to absorb any more water. This means that all the water has to flow into the rivers. But, there may be too much water for the rivers to take, which means they overflow and flood the land around them.
  • We call the area of land around a river that floods when the river is too full the ‘floodplain’.
  • When a river floods the water on the flooded land is moving very slowly and can’t carry the silt in it any longer. The silt is deposited on the flooded land and gives it a lot of nutrients that make the land good for farming crops. 
  • When rivers reach the sea, they often spread out over a wide area and slow right down. This part of the river is called the estuary. This means that they can’t carry any of their silt any more so they drop it all onto the base of the river and into the edge of ocean. Sometimes rivers carry so much silt that when they drop it, it builds a new area of land at the edge of the ocean called a delta.
  • The water in the ocean is called ‘salt water’ because it is full of salt, but water that falls as rain and flows down the rivers to the sea doesn’t have any salt in it and is called ‘fresh water’.
  • You can find all sorts of fish and birds and many other kinds of creatures living in water. Some creatures that live in water like both fresh water and salt water, but some creatures only like to live in fresh water rivers and lakes and some only like to live in salt water ( marine habitats ).

When a lot of rain falls in a short time, the ground can’t always absorb it quickly enough. This means that lots more water than normal flows into the rivers. If there is more water than the river can carry away to the sea, it bursts over its banks and floods the land around it. This is called a ‘ flash flood ’ because it happens so quickly. There aren’t always many safe places to cross a river on foot, and building bridges was hard for people before they had modern machines. Anyone going on a journey would have to cross a river at the same place as lots of other people. Towns would often grow up around these places so that travellers could find a place to sleep or trade goods with each other. The mouth of a river also used to be a very good place to build a town. Large boats that cross the sea to other countries can sail into the mouth of the river to unload their cargo and to load local produce to take elsewhere. Small boats can sail up and down the river taking goods to and from the towns that are further inland. Lots of towns are named after river crossings or the rivers that flow through them. Oxford is named after a ford where people used to take their oxen across the river Thames. Stourbridge is a town in the West Midlands where there is an old bridge over the river Stour. Dartmouth in Devon is town at the mouth of the river Dart. How many towns in your area are named after rivers or river crossings? The Welsh word for a river mouth is ‘aber’. Many towns in Wales are named after the rivers that they are on, just as they are in England . Aberystwyth is town at the mouth (aber) of the river Ystwyth. The faster a river flows, the more erosion it causes in the soil and rocks around it. Over millions of years streams and rivers will remove more and more material from the area around them and cut bigger and bigger paths for themselves. This is how valleys are created. Even quite small streams can create big valleys over a long time. When the slope that rivers are flowing down stops being so steep, rivers slow down and instead of rushing down the straightest path through the valley, they often start to curve and bend. These curves are called meanders . Erosion on the bends of the meanders means that they are slowly changing shape and that path the river takes will gradually change. Sometimes the erosion will cut a straight path for the river to take and leave what used to be a bend isolated from the river. This is called an ‘ox-bow lake’. Sometimes to make it easier to for boats to travel up and down rivers, people change the way that the river flows. If part of a river is very bendy, they might dig a straighter channel for the river to flow down so that the boats don’t have to make tight turns. Sometimes they make the river wider or make it deeper so that bigger boats can travel on it. When the river is too steep and flows to fast, they might put in locks to make it safer for the boats to travel. Rivers have also been used for a long time to help people work equipment. People would build mills to grind corn and grain near to rivers so that they could use a water wheel to work the mill. The bottom of the wheel would be put into the water, and when the water turned the wheel, the wheel would make the equipment in the mill turn and grind up the grain. Today, instead of using a wheel to operate equipment, we build big dams across the rivers and use the force of the water to turn turbines and generate electricity to power our machines. We call this hydro-electricity because it is generated from water.

Words to know:

Bank – The riverbank is the land at the side of the river. Basin – Rainwater that falls on hills flows down the side of the hills into rivers. A river basin the group of hills, valleys and lakes that water flows into the river from. Bed – The bed is the bottom of a river. A riverbed can be made of sand, rocks or mud depending on the river. Canal – A man-made waterway that is used so that boats can transport goods across bits of the country where there are no rivers they can use. Current – The strength and speed of the river. Water always flows downhill; the steeper the ground is, the stronger the current will be. Delta – A wide muddy or sandy area where some rivers meet the sea. The river slows down and drops all the sediments it was carrying. Downstream – The direction that the water flows, downhill towards the sea Fresh water – Rainwater that falls from the sky has no salt in it. We call this fresh water. Erosion – When a river flows fast it damages the riverbanks and washes bits of them downstream. This makes the river wider. Estuary – Where a river reaches the ocean and the river and ocean mix. Estuaries are normally wide and flat. Floodplain – The flat area around a river that often gets flooded when the level of water in the river is high. Mouth – The end of a river where it flows into the sea, another river or a lake. Salt water – The water in the sea is full of salt, so ‘salt water’ refers to water in seas and oceans. Silt – Small bits of dirt or sand that are carried along by a river. Source – The start of a river is its source. This could be a spring on a hillside, a lake, or a bog or marsh. A river may have more than one source. Stream – A small river Tidal river – At the end of a river, near the ocean, water from the sea flows up the river when the tide comes in. This bit of the river is called ‘tidal’. Tributary – A smaller river or stream that joins a big river is called a tributary. Upstream – The opposite direction to the way the water in a river flows Watershed – Water flows down the side of hills into rivers. But, water that lands on opposite sides of the same hill might flow into different rivers. The watershed is the boundary between two river basins.

Year 5 3D River Models  Class 11

To bring our rivers topic to a conclusion, the children made these excellent 3D models of a river system to show the course of a river from source to mouth.  Firstly, they used scrunched up newspaper to build the land contours onto a cardboard base.  They then carefully layered MODROC (bandages coated in plaster of paris) over the top to form and shape the landscape.  Once dry, they expertly painted their models and labelled the features.

The children are very proud of their models and we hope you will agree that they really look fantastic!

Erin’s River Project

by admins | Jun 30, 2020 | 3M , Geography , News

school project 3d river model

For a Home Learning task, I asked the children in 3L to make a model of a river system, demonstrating how a river flows from its source to the sea. They had three weeks to complete this task.

I wasn’t sure how many children would undertake this challenge as a 3D model always takes a big commitment involving time and effort.

How excited was I then, to receive these pictures earlier this week, showing Erin’s fantastic model of a river system? Not only does she have all the 3D features of a river as it makes its journey, but she’s labelled them too.

Erin, this is an outstanding effort and you should be very proud with the end result.

I bet you won’t forget the features of a river system in a hurry now you’ve actually made one!

If anyone else has a river system to share, I would love to see it.
