"Arsenic and Old Waste": Groundwater Activities Using Modeling
Learners develop models of groundwater and pollution flow. They research information using the Internet and develop models of groundwater flow in Stella and Excel.
Curated OER
Waters of the Earth
Students make a striking visual display showing the distribution of water on earth.
Curated OER
Our Water Resources
Learners build a model aquifer to study groundwater zones and water table formation. Students use the models to measure the movement of polluted groundwater.
Curated OER
The Wetlands
Fourth graders learn what a wetland is, where they can be found, and what types of plants, animals and characteristic are associated with the wetlands. They also participate in an activity to explore and enhance their knowledge of...
Curated OER
How Wathersheds Work
Students describe a watershed. They identify factors that effect the flow of water within a watershed. They explain how water can flow from inland waterways to the ocean.
Curated OER
Contaminated Drinking Water
Students explore water and determine whether or not it is safe to drink. In this water exploration lesson, students are split into groups, to acts as the polluter, taster, and recorder. Students explore by placing different amounts of...
Curated OER
WATER HERE AND THERE
Introduce the topic of water conservation with a little drama. Dressed as snowflakes, hail stones, or rain drops class members dramatize the events in a narration of the water cycle. The series of lessons that follow focus on...
Curated OER
From Ground to Water
Students explore groundwater and issues relating to groundwater. They discus the problems involving groundwater. Students write a newspaper story addressing groundwater problems. They create a comic strip addressing groundwater...
Curated OER
Eek, It leaks!
Students construct model landfill liners out of two-inch strips of garbage bags within resource constraints. The challenge is to construct a bag that will hold one cup of water without leaking. This represents similar challenges that...
Curated OER
Abundant Lakes
Students define lake life zones. They define stormwater runoff and its effects on lakes. They identify the relationship between decaying substances and water pollution. They construct a freshwater food web.
Curated OER
Building a Model Springbox
Students examine ways to protect fresh drinking water. In this clean drinking water lesson, students listen to the story of Lauren Fry  about building a springbox to collect groundwater. Students build a springbox.
PBL Pathways
Arsenic and Selenium Removal From Drinking Water at a Minimal Cost
Decide on the most efficient plan to supply drinking water. The second project-based learning task in a two-part series builds upon the first project. Pupils revisit the wells to supply drinking water, but they must make sure the...
Curated OER
"Tri-County" Project--Water Cycle
Students analyze the parts of the water cycle through research and experimentation. Particular attention is paid to the processes of evaporation and condensation.
Curated OER
Journey Through the Water Cycle
Students canvass the water cycle in the seven lessons of this unit. The processes of the water cycle and the cyclical nature of water is emphasized inthis unit.
Curated OER
Water Cycle Project
Students complete a water cycle project. In this Earth science lesson plan, students use recycled objects from around their homes to illustrate the water cycle. Students illustrate evaporation, condensation, precipitation, saturation,...
Curated OER
The Dirt on Soil
Students classify different soil types. For this earth science lesson, students explain the factors that affect groundwater quality. They design and build a water treatment plant.
Curated OER
Where's the Water? Stream Side Science
After a whole-class discussion of water reservoirs, ten liters of water are given to each lab group to represent Earth's total amount of water. They divide the water into smaller containers, each representing one of those reservoirs. The...
Mascil Project
Closed Greenhouses
Controlling the efficiency of a greenhouse is a mathematical task. A collaborative project challenges learners to create an efficiency plan for a closed greenhouse. Using algebraic equations, they consider a set of constraints, design...
California Academy of Science
Fresh Solutions: Design Thinking Challenge
How do people transport fresh water long distances to ensure everyone has access to it? The final lesson in the 10-part Fresh Solutions unit encourages individuals to design their own solution, or solutions, to that very problem. Groups...
Curated OER
Seepy Sandwich
Students study how water infiltration can carry pollution underground. In this water infiltration lesson, students conduct an experiment on water infiltration and underground pollution.
Curated OER
Send in the Clouds
Students examine the components of the water cycle and follow step by step directions to build a three dimensional cloud. The vocabulary words used in the lesson are attached to the cloud for a lesson review.
Curated OER
Prairie Adaptations
Twelfth graders consider the survival of prairie plants. They examine how some tallgrass prairie species are adapted to the conditions of their ecosystem. They make a prediction of how a species might change given new conditions.
