Students apply their understanding of the natural water cycle and the urban stormwater water cycle, as well as the processes involved in both cycles to hypothesize how the flow of water is affected by altering precipitation.

In this unit, students explore the various roles of environmental engineers, including: environmental cleanup, water quality, groundwater resources, surface water and groundwater flow, water contamination, waste disposal and air...

This video describes what watersheds are and where they are located. View several different watersheds and learn how their flow is affected by the topography around them. [7:11]

Take your students on a caving experience. This field trip gives hands-on experiences with stalactites, flow stone, fossils, water erosion, limestone, and groundwater.

Students learn how water moves through rock materials such as sand, gravel, and clay.

Through an overview of the components of the hydrologic cycle and the important roles they play in the design of engineered systems, students' awareness of the world's limited fresh water resources is heightened. The instructional...

[Free Registration/Login Required] This is a science flipchart that reviews the stages of the water cycle and also ways in which the water cycle affects weather such as hurricanes and tornadoes.

[Free Registration/Login Required] This lesson covers information for middle grade students relative to the basic functions of the water cycle.
