5th - 7th Grades
Water is essential to human life. The water humans use comes either from surface water (a lake or river) or from groundwater (an aquifer). In this lesson, youth will work in small groups to build an aquifer! In doing so, they will learn the difference between surface and ground water sources, how they are connected, and other key components of these sources.
