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

What Are Earth's Natural Resources - Mineral, Energy, and Groundwater MS-ESS3-1
In this activity, students will explore examples of natural resources to construct their own definition of the term natural resources. Students will use images, discussion questions, and web resources to build their understanding of what natural resources are and how humans use them each day. This lesson begins with a phenomenon (water shortage in South Africa) and returns to it at the end of the lesson. While it introduces a variety of natural resources, it emphasizes in particular (through the

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

Human Body Systems: Group Newscast
I created this newscast for my fifth grade class to research one system of the body, then present information as a group in a fun way. They really get into it! There is an anchorperson (or two), a weatherperson, a sports person, and someone who is on-location. All roles are modified to fit the subject matter, of course!Included:- An introduction page with news roles and sign-up- A page for students to organize and collect their 3 facts- A presentation checklist to practice- A note-taking page fo

PPT with Models, Questions & Experimental Design: Plants & Animals Needs Product
How to be used in a lesson:The models should be shown to the students on the smartboard and student discussions should be encouraged by the teacher before any explanations or "teaching" occurs. The model shows them what is going into the plant/animal and what is coming out or being released. Students should be able to complete each worksheet by just deciphering the model. The teacher and student age can determine how detailed you get with your explanation of the processes. This is a great time t

HEART Humane Education: Where Has All The Water Gone? (Gr. 6-8)
By examining their own water consumption, youth will think about the ways in which they use water both subsistently and luxuriously. They will learn about the global water crisis and work in groups to investigate potential solutions to water scarcity. Weighing the benefits and challenges of each proposed solution, students will then present on whether or not they think their solution is a viable strategy for water conservation.
Students are first asked to think about how much water they use dai
