Pre-Visit Activities : Groundwater & Runoff
Objectives

MAIN | OBJECTIVES | STANDARDS | BACKGROUND | PROCEDURES | ASSESSMENT | RESOURCES

The learner will be able to:

  • Create a model of groundwater and identify the zone of saturation, zone of aeration and water table and explain what each one is
  • Observe and measure the effect particle size has on porosity and permeability
  • Given the predominant particle size in a sample of soil, predict whether the rainwater that falls on this soil is more likely to become groundwater or to run off
