Lesson 5 - Learning About Ground Water

1. Where did all the water that you poured into your cup go?
2. How does this model simulate what really happens to groundwater in the world? (How does water get underground? Where is water stored underground?)
3. Based on this experiment, what can happen to a drop of water after it falls on the ground?
4. Do you think humans use groundwater? If so, what do we use groundwater for?
5. How do humans get groundwater to the surface?  Is this easy to do?
6. Do you think groundwater can move anywhere else? Where? How does it move?
7. How have your ideas about what happens to a drop of water changed since you started learning more about groundwater?

1. The water mostly went to bed rock but not all of it about a forth soak into the sand. It was really cool to watch the water peculate down to the bottom.

2. I think it is the same because the sand is collects a little water but then if you poor a lot of water it will quickly go through the sand coffee filter and gravel to bed rock.

3. I think that the water will just soak into the ground and feed the dirt.

4.I think they don't use ground water today but people
