Students canplay with the parameters, transform the environment, and see the consequences as they run the simulation.Activity #1: Stream TablesThe first activity has students use stream tables to investigate the erosion of a streambed and the associatedgeologic features it creates. Students make observations about the erosional features that appear in thestreambed. A class discussion about their observations follows, embedded in the larger context of thecourse. This is the only activity that uses an actual stream table.Activity #2: Introduction to NetLogoThe first computer-based erosion simulation is a virtual

The difference in the number of variables andindependent equations establishes the number of degrees of freedom (DoF) in the system. TheDoF value can be used as a check point on the mathematical reasoning or formulation of theproblem. If the DoF is zero, the solution of the problem is determinate with only one solution;but if V > E, there may be several alternative solutions, which defines the problem as a designcase
