Materials: Pencil, science
notebook, Groundwater
Investigation
Thank you for not chewing gum 
Today’s Agenda:
•Bell work
•Groundwater Investigation- Go over Task One
and Complete Task Two
Learning Target: Today we will learn
about ground water.
Daily Question: What does
permeable mean?
I can explain how
GROUNDWATER,
IMPERMEABLE
ROCK, and
PERMEABLE ROCK
interact to form
an AQUIFER.

 Sort the items on your table by permeability.
Which do you think will be most permeable? Which
will be least permeable? WHY?
 PREDICT: What order did you place the items in?
 Using the pipet, apply 5 drops of water to each
substance. Observe what happens.
 REVISE: Did you need to re-order your items? If so,
what was the final order?
 Write your own definition for permeable and
impermeable substances and give example of each.

1.
POST-QUESTION: Revise you answer and reasoning. What
happens to water in the greenbelt after it rains? Explain your
reasoning. Summarize how groundwater plays a role.
2.
Draw an aquifer. Be sure to include and label the following terms:
3.
Groundwater, impermeable rock, permeable rock, aquifer,
precipitation
4.
Self-assessment: Can you… explain how groundwater, permeable
rock, impermeable rock, and groundwater interact to form an
aquifer. YES or NO? GIVE YOUR EVIDENCE? What support do you still
need?
5.
What additional questions or wonderings you have about
groundwater?
