Exploring Groundwater and Aquifers (NGSS MS-ESS3-1) (5E Model Explore & Explain)
Develop student understanding of the distribution of groundwater resources (and their limited nature) by analyzing data and designing and participating in an engineering design challenge in which they design and construct an aquifer. In this lesson, students understand why groundwater isn’t found just anywhere and realize the importance of this limited resource. In this activity, students will:map the distribution of groundwaterdesign and construct an aquifer to understand how they work and what

Middle School/Upper Elementary Scientific Method and STEM Fair Unit
This unit was designed as a way to incorporate STEM into a more traditional Science Fair model with connections to STEM careers. Students are encouraged to choose a topic that they are deeply interested in and they learn how to connect scientific thinking to concepts outside of science class. They are also introduced to future STEM careers and community resources. The unit is directly aligned to Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and the Common Core.

Porosity, Permeability, and Structure Of Aquifers (NGSS MS-ESS3-1)
In this 5E Model Explore-Explain activity sequence, students will explore the structure of aquifers. First, they will investigate porosity and permeability to understand how Earth’s sediments affect the availability of groundwater - its ability to be stored, flow, and be accessed by humans. Then, they will use data from well logs to create a visual model of the structure of an aquifer, drawing conclusions about the flow of groundwater in the aquifer, the impacts of land use, and the overall qual

Scent Science Smell Test
Hands-on fun they won't forget! And...that's ironic because scent science is used to treat patients with traumatic brain injuries, Covid, and Parkinson's disease!This activity uses 8 mystery scents (commonly found around the kitchen/house) to get our kiddos thinking critically about a future chemistry career in "scent science" as a food engineer, perfume maker, or brain specialist. The activity also reinforces the important discipline of documenting our observations during the scientific process
