Exploring Groundwater and Aquifers (NGSS MS-ESS3-1) (5E Model Explore & Explain)
Develop student understanding of the distribution of groundwater resources (and their limited nature) by analyzing data and designing and participating in an engineering design challenge in which they design and construct an aquifer. In this lesson, students understand why groundwater isn’t found just anywhere and realize the importance of this limited resource. In this activity, students will:map the distribution of groundwaterdesign and construct an aquifer to understand how they work and what

Porosity, Permeability, and Structure Of Aquifers (NGSS MS-ESS3-1)
In this 5E Model Explore-Explain activity sequence, students will explore the structure of aquifers. First, they will investigate porosity and permeability to understand how Earth’s sediments affect the availability of groundwater - its ability to be stored, flow, and be accessed by humans. Then, they will use data from well logs to create a visual model of the structure of an aquifer, drawing conclusions about the flow of groundwater in the aquifer, the impacts of land use, and the overall qual

Protect Your "Eggstronaut" Egg Drop Project
These google slides will walk your class through designing a lander to protect an astronaut during space travel. It gives background information and provides students with critical thinking questions about space exploration and the engineering of spacecrafts. Combine this with the project worksheet found in another listing.

Group Work Job Assignments and Student Group Work Self-Evaluation Sheet
Encourage active collaborative work in groups with job assignments. Each person in the group can select or you can assign a job so students are working together and avoid the partner that does not work. Then, use the "Student Self-Evaluation" sheet to allow students to reflect on how successful they were as a participant in a group. This can lead to more active participation in collaborative work!
