Groundwater
Offered November, February, April Appropriate Age Level: 6th Grade - Adult
This
unit enables students to understand how groundwater - that invisible
resource - moves and behaves underground. Students are able to measure
the water table and its fluctuations through a series of unique test
wells here at Au Sable. Students collect water samples and test them
for pH, hardness, and chlorides. Groundwater models aid students to understand
how groundwater can become contaminated, how contamination moves, and
how it can be cleaned up. An emphasis is placed on actions each of us
can do to protect groundwater. Environmental
