See if you can find a small fountain pump at the local craft store. I found one years ago that fit inside a medium size vase. It was something like $15 or $20. From there, build a river bank around it.

I would try to think up a fun fake product and work around that.  Something that you wish was real, like in the movie 'Envy' where they have a spray to make dog poo disappear.  Have fun with the project but don't lose sight of the requirements of your assignment.

Make a sunset background.  Add some cacti.  Then let them color.  Even add some plastic wildlife

build them yourself with a program like the GIMP or Jasc. it aint that hard... or you can get some off of google image search probably.

This sounds so excessive! What a crazy teacher you must have. :)\n\nAlright - well...\nThe gravel is the easy part. Use the screen as a sift and hopefully the screen will be fine enough that none of the gravel will get through. \n\nNow the plan of action is dump the powder and salt in the water. [Which I guess will be done in Cup #1.] You'll filter out the powder. The salt will dissolve in the water, and you will evaporate the water later. The question is how to do this with what you have.\n\nI'm thinking the craft sticks are to hold up the funnel. Arrange them over the top of the cup [Cup #2] so that they make a triangle and see if it'll hold up the funnel. \n\nPut a filter paper in the funnel. Pour the mixture in and the powder will collect in the funnel. When you're done, take out that first filter paper and set it aside. Then set up your funnel in Cup #3 with the second piece of paper and filter the mixture a second time just to make sure you got all of the powder.\n\nI was trying to think of what the syringe could possibly be for, and the only thing I can think of is to take the salt-water out of Cup #3 and into the evaporation dishes.\n\nNo idea what the magnifying glass is for.\n\nBut the basic idea is that you sift out the gravel, mix the powder&salt in water, fliter out the powder, then dissolve the water.

To do it accurately you may need a PhD. \nOtherwise, build a trough with an uneven bottom.  Then build a ramp to the trough.  On the top of the ramp have a bucket that is constantly being filled with water from a fish tank pump.  Make the bucket so that when it is filled to a certain level it tips and pours down the ramp into the trough.

There's a page that covers this here (http://www.urbanedpartnership.org/target/units/river/tour/hist.html)

You can do it in a table\n<table border=1>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<img....>\n\nOr you can use a program like Fireworks or Photoshop that have plugins to do it for you.

some ideas of what you could make the model from:\n\nstyrofoam\nclay with rocks\nlegos\npaper mache (shape your wall then take strips of newspapers dipped in glue and water mix and cover it..you can paint it when it dries)\nyou could use small boxes or cut up cereal boxes..and then paint them. \n\nor you could get really wacky and make it out of those little take out containers...or noodles..and shellac them. use your imagination!\n\nyou could even make a really tiny model and then build a model of a rocket that is larger..to show that it can be seen from space!

Topography is the word you want. Combine Topography with river and throw it into a search engine and things like this Wikipedia article should fall out.  Happy hunting.

http://educate-yourself.org/fe/fejoewatercell.shtml\nI'm unsure of anything that describes how to really make one.\nThis site tries, but it's rather goofy to follow. Maybe you'll have better luck that I would.

Come on, use your imagination and do it yourself!  This is not hard at all!\n\n(good one, goth_brat)

Here's a site with alot of different ideas and difficulty levels with instructions.  Maybe you can find something here.\n\nOr you can tell us more about what you are wanting to do and what you like and we might be more helpful on here.\n\nhttp://www.all-science-fair-projects.com/

Modeling clay might work... you can even make your own. \n\nYou also might try using actual rocks and painting them. \n\nRoyal icing is another option - it's very stiff when it dries, and you can color it any shade you like.\n\nYou can cut styrofoam/flower bouquet foam to any shape you like as well.\n\nGood luck!
