Ever wondered how an aquifer works? Introduce your class to the amazing way many people get water by exploring how underground aquifers work. Two fun hands-on activities are used to help kids understand what an aquifer is, how it works, and how it can become polluted. The first activity focuses on modeling the process of pollution, and the second activity helps describe the attributes common to most aquifers.
