Product Information

Here is a fascinating tool for teaching the concepts of groundwater movement, aquifers and the effects of pollution on this delicate system.

Whether teaching an extended hydrology unit or briefly demonstrating concepts, you can use this simulation to bring the dynamics of the underground to life. The movement of groundwater and the leaching of dyes through layers of gravel introduced to simulate real-world contaminants will allow students to develop a true appreciation for the fragility of this crucial system.

The unique design of the apparatus allows for lessons on porosity, permeability, rate of groundwater flow, characteristics of aquifers, formation of cone depressions, well contamination, surface leaching of pollutants and more. In addition, the hands-on nature will allow students to be actively involved with each demonstration. Designed for students in grades 9–12.

Includes: clear acrylic tank (76 cm x 38 cm x 4 cm), sands and gravels, two plastic bottles with stoppers, funnel dispenser, two 60 cc syringes, water soluble dye, all necessary fittings, and a teacher’s guide with Instructions for complete set-up, suggested demonstrations and background information on more than two dozen key concepts.

Size: 30″L x 1 1/2″W x 15″H.
