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

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
