This
activity
is
a
fun
and
easy
way
to
understand
the
geology
of
an
aquifer.
Students
will
build
an
edible
aquifer,
and
learn
about
confining
layers,
contamination,
recharge
and
water
tables.
This
demonstration
is
designed
to
illustrate
the
geologic
formations
in
an
aquifer,
how
pollution
can
get
into
groundwater,
and
how
pumping
can
cause
a
decline
in
the
water
table.
Students
will
notice
how

This

of
activities

demonstrates
the
importance
of
feedbacks
and
the
balance
of
mass
and
energy
in
governing
the
response
of
any
system
to
change.
Energy
balance
and
the
factors
that
cause
change
(feedbacks)
are
the
keys
to
understanding
climate
change,
and
therefore
the
keys
to
understanding
the

some
effects
of
rising
levels
of
greenhouse
gases
on
climate.
Specifically,
it
shows
how
an
increase
of
heat-trapping
gases
in
the
atmosphere
raises
temperatures;
higher
temperatures
affect
the
water
cycle,
and
rising
sea
levels
could
affect
coastal
areas
as
a
result
of
glacial
and
polar
ice
melt.

This
module
provides
three
activities
that
explore
the
potential
impact
of
climate
variability
and
change
on
Earth's
most
abundant
resource,
water.
Although
each
activity
is
designed
to
tap
specific
skills
and
knowledge
to
yield
scientific
results,
the
broader
intent
is
to
stimulate
thought
about
the
long-term
impacts
of
a
warmer
planet.
Through
