Item Description:

Science Seekers Safe Groundwater is part of the Science Seekers series. Science Seekers Safe Groundwater is published by Tom Snyder/ Scholastic and is available in different configurations to fit your needs.

In Science Seekers: Safe Groundwater, students are faced with the challenge of finding out who is polluting the groundwater of Fairview. To find the culprit, they must learn about groundwater -- what it is, how it gets underground, and how it behaves underground.

Students learn these scientific concepts:

  • Where water is stored underground
  • The role of groundwater in the hydrologic cycle
  • What the water table is and how it relates to the saturated and unsaturated zones
  • Porosity and permeability of rock
  • Recharge and discharge of groundwater
  • Aquifers
  • The basics of groundwater flow rate and direction
  • How pollution can affect an aquifer

    Students learn how to work as a team by:

  • Becoming members of an interdependent group
  • Listening and talking with others
  • Sharing a common goal
  • Collaborating to solve a problem

    Students learn content vocabulary:

  • Aquifer
  • Dilute
  • Discharg
  • e Groundwater
  • Groundwater flow
  • Impermeable
  • Permeability
  • Permeable
  • Plume
  • Pollutant
  • Pollution
  • Pores
  • Porosity
