Land Use and The Water Cycle Virtual Lab
In this virtual lab, students will use the Runoff Simulation, created by Stroud Water Research Center, to determine how land cover and soil type can influence the movement of water. Students will first review the water cycle and the concept that when precipitation falls to the Earth's surface, it can then undergo three processes: 1) evapotranspiration 2) infiltration or 3) runoff. They will then use the simulation to make adjustments to land cover and soil type to better understand how these tw

Topographic Maps Lab
Students will label and create a topographic map of their own following by choosing their own variables. They will then swap maps with a partner to solve for gradient and highest point. All of the variables will be created by the students. They will then analyze an image of an onion and figure out which side of it would be "steeper". They will make a claim and provide quantitative evidence to support their claim using a C.E.R chart. Please reach out if you have any questions. Thank You
