This
site
provides
an
introduction
to
the
Missouri
Springs
of
the
Ozarks,
a
series
of
large
springs
that
occur
south
of
the
Missouri
River
along
the
Ozark
Uplift.
There
is
general
information
on
springs,
including
what
they
are,
how
they
form,
and
their
connection
to
the
groundwater
system.
Photographs
and
brief
descriptions
are
provided
for
the
twenty
largest
springs
in
the
state.

This
is
an
exercise
based
on
the
geologic
hazard
of
land
subsidence
in
areas
of
karst
terrain.
A
brief
introduction
is
given
to
ground
water,
the
development
of
karst,
and
the
resulting
collapse
features
due
to
the
lowering
of
the
water
table.
Photos
and
an
animation
support
the
discussion.
Users
are
directed
to
print
out
a
question
sheet
that
is
intended
to
guide
exploration
of

This
lesson
plan
has
students
investigate
interrelationships
between
flowing
water
and
topography
within
a
watershed
by:
interpreting
and
using
maps
of
the
area,
modeling
a
watershed,
comparing
modeled
and
actual
events,
predicting
path
of
runoff,
and
communicating
water
quality
information.
Locations
within
Virginia
State
parks
that
adjoin
the
Chesapeake
Bay
are
provided
as
possible
field
trip
locations.

In
this
activity,
students
will
become
familier
with
the
rock
cycle.
During
the
first
part
of
the
lesson,
students
work
in
small
groups,
each
group
having
a
copy
of
the
rock
cycle
on
a
sheet
of
paper
and
a
selection
of
small-scale
samples
and
photographs
that
represent
the
products
of
the
rock
cycle.
The
students
lay
out
their
samples
and
photographs
next
to
what
they
consider
to
be
the
correct
boxes

In
this
lesson,
students
will
investigate
the
South
Atlantic
Bight
to
discover
what
it
is
and
how
was
it
formed.
As
they
investigate
the
Bight,
students
will
sequence
and
model
the
events
leading
to
the
formation
of
the
southeastern
coast
of
the
United
States,
examine
what
forces
have
changed
the
structure
of
this
area
over
geologic
time,
predict
what

are
yet
to

In
this
activity,
students
will
investigate
the
weathering
of
rocks
by
chemical
processes.
They
will
use
effervescent
cleansing
tablets
as
a
model
for
rock,
and
vary
surface
area,
temperature,
and
acidity
to
see
how
rapidly
the
"rock"
dissolves.
This
investigation
will
help
them
understand
three
of
the
factors
that
affect
the
rate
of
chemical
weathering
and
develop
better
understanding
of
how
to

lesson
uses
paper
models
to
help
students
understand
karst
processes,
why
caves
develop
in
limestone,
and
how
karst
topography
develops.
Introductory
materials
explain
how
ground-
or
surface
waters
can
dissolve
limestone,
some
features
of
karst
landscapes
(sinkholes,
disappearing
streams),
and
some
features
of
caves
(stalagmites,
