Water Systems
In this water systems learning exercise, students refer to their textbook to complete questions about the amount of water on earth and the portion of water in various forms. Students review porosity, permeability, and water table. This...
Curated OER
Navvies/ Canals
Young scholars investigate the concept of water permeability in order to help find the best material to line a canal. The goal is to find a material that does not allow water to escape. They also conduct an experiment and record the...
Curated OER
Biocomplexity Lab Activity: Permeability
Learners identify how water moves through materials such as rocks or sand. Students measure the permeability of water through glass spheres to represent the movement of water in sand, an aquifer, or another sediment. During the...
Curated OER
Investigating Porosity and Permeability
Student describe porosity and permeability in sand, gravel, clay and potting soil. They experiment using different materials to discover the different porous substances and the permeability of the same substances. Young scholars place...
Curated OER
What's The Level?
Students examine the movement of the water table and saturation zones. They describe the movements of the water table and locate the saturation zones. Students identify the function of each saturation zone. They develop a model of the...
Curated OER
Water Quality
Students investigate the water cycle and evaporation. They study the porosity and permeability of groundwater, and the capillary action in soil in this unit.
Curated OER
"Tri-County" Project--Ground Water
Pupils explore data on some of the landforms in Nebraska to distinguish between porous and nonpremeable soils. The state's groundwater is investigated.
Curated OER
Landfill Leachate
Students become aware that everything we do on and to the surface of the earth affects our water.
