Groundwater Exploration

Activity Model

Graphically demonstrate over 25 groundwater concepts.

Engage your class with a vivid demonstration of groundwater flow. Using this durable acrylic model, your students will learn about the sources of groundwater, its storage and flow beneath the earth's surface and how this unseen resource impacts life at the earth's surface. They'll use dyes as simulated contaminants to reveal how groundwater can become polluted and how its contamination can directly affect our drinking water supplies. As you demonstrate dozens of groundwater concepts, your class will learn about groundwater's critical role in the hydrologic cycle as well as such key concepts as: Groundwater Pollution; Porosity and Permeability; Darcy's Law; Aquifers and Artesian Wells; Water Quality; and Interrelationship of groundwater and surface water. The Groundwater Exploration Activity Model comes complete with everything you need, including sand, gravel, clay, nontoxic dyes, connectors, tubing, syringe pumps and pipets. It even includes an electric pump for the realistic simulation of continuous water recharging as well as a large, permanently attached reservoir! Includes detailed student's and teacher's guides which make it easy-to-use, easy-to-understand and easy-to-maintain. Sturdy design includes oversized, 7 inch base for added stability.
