This lab took the class to the Ocmulgee Heritage River in Macon, Georgia.  The class came out to see how fast the water was flowing in the river and measured the elevation changes from one bank of the river to thew other.  The class split into two groups.  One group had a pole and string to measure the distance and elevation change from one bank of the river to the other.  The other group measured out 100 feet on the bank of the river and calculated the time it took an orange to float for 100 feet.  This data together helped conclude the lab.
