Students complete activities that show how aquifers are difficult to clean once they become contaminated. They discuss where the water in aquifers comes from, how it gets contaminated, and how to clean it up prior to setting up the experiment. Once the experiment is complete, they reassess their answers to these questions. Finally, they discuss whether flushing or pumping works best to clean the aquifers. Full Review »
