Grade 8 Week 12: Freshwater

This week the goal is to find out where freshwater can be found and how we get it.  We will also look at the effects we have once we get it with our Groundwater Model.

How does freshwater move around us?
Where does Plymouth get its water?

Thursday we will be doing a little role-playing with the Groundwater Model.  Thoughts after using it?  How does our use of groundwater affect that part of the water cycle?

Contract Week 12 has you researching the past and future of Sheboygan Lake/Marsh due to eutrophication, creating a visual on the Great Lakes and the effects of our use, pollutants, and invasive species, and finally to find out finally...where does Plymouth get its water?
