Flow Rate

    Flow rate is the rate at which the water streams. Some factors that influence flow rate are depth and volume of water and rainfall.

Procedures:

· We measured out 50 feet or 15.5 meters of tape measure.

· Then we threw out a tennis ball or a orange into the middle of the river.

· Then we started the stop watch when the object reaches the beginning of the tape.

· When the object reaches the end of the 50 feet mark, we stop the stop watch and record the time.
