This week we continue our unit on the Earth's waters. We make use of our very own groundwater model thanks to UW-Steven's Point. We narrow our focus to the groundwater and aquifers of Plymouth, Wisconsin
How does water move on the surface?
How does water move underground??
What rock types make up our aquifer?
How can aquifers purify water?
How can aquifers become contaminated?
Where/How do we get our drinking water?
Contracts for this week focus on these questions.
Make It Rain Design Challenge! Vote Now!
Several groups were challenged to design a device to make it rain on the water model. Now its up to you to choose the one that would work and will be made! View the entries on the slideshow below(click on it to link to a larger view) and then vote on the Google Doc form below!
IM CONFUSED!!! D=<
ReplyDelete(i was from group 2 today.)
so, my group hasnt found out some of the questions yet. (even though we didnt really have to present it, i just wana know.)
wat aquifer is underneath us?
and what type of rocks are they?
igneous? madamorfic? or sedimentry?
(sory if i spell any wrong)
Are the rain machines that we vote/spam for going to be used on the water model?
ReplyDeleteMike
ReplyDeleteYes, the one you all vote for is the one that will be produced. So, sometime during your spamming/ruining the voting process, actually take the time to find the one you think will work!
What are some ways to un-marsh or de-eutrophicate?
ReplyDeleteWhich class has the best Rain machine, And what if We don't have time to properly anylize the rainers and we can't stop clicking submit
ReplyDeleteJake you can just click on the scrolling images and a new tab opens. you can then just page through them or you can hit the magical pause button and page through.
ReplyDeleteok in madican last weekend we were on a highway all of a sudden there was random fog fro like 30 seconds and then it was crystal clear air. and it did this over and over and over. Why did this happen???? :(
ReplyDeleteWill every water system in wisconsin eventually be taken over by eutrophication?
ReplyDeletedo icebergs have layers of growth over time just lioke our earth and the tree and other things so you can tell how old it is
ReplyDeleteHow deep should a well be to avoid possible pollution?
ReplyDeleteCould all the water on earth get stuck somehow under ground?
ReplyDeleteHow can we avoid possible pollution for drinking water?
ReplyDeletevote for Arc. it is the most time and material efficient design and it would last the longest without having problems. it is also the coolest.
ReplyDeleteJack,
ReplyDeleteyes they will all be taken over by eutrophication and become meadows, but from a meadow, they will eventually cycle back to being a water system, and there will always be water systems in wisconsin.
To choose your own design is sectionalist. Please preserve our unity and pick a good one.
ReplyDeleteWhat could possibly slow eutrophication?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,
ReplyDeleteWhile I agree that class declaring secession and an Eighth Grade Civil War over a water model would be...bad. I would have to guess that if you made a design you would believe it to be the best.
Even if it was a silly, silly tree.
Is every body of water going to eventually turn into a marsh due to eutrophication?
ReplyDeleteHow does eutrophication effect the enivorment around us????
ReplyDeletewhy is it important to learn about water and where it comes from?
ReplyDeleteMost of the people in the country surrounding Plymouth get their water from a well underground, and in the city it comes from the ginormous water tower, (I think we have one?!) Aquifers purify the water because the rock layer acts as a filter, letting the water go through, and keeping the soil and bacteria on top, because of all the tiny spaces in the rock.
