5th - 7th Grades
More than 85% of Nebraskans rely on groundwater for drinking and daily use. In this lesson, youth will explore the quality of water used for drinking. Through hands-on learning through aquifer simulation building, youth will gain understanding on how groundwater sources become polluted, learn about visible and invisible contaminants, and how this water can be treated.
