An interactive slide show explores the journey of a single snowflake onto and through a glacier. This journey, which can take as much as 30,000 years to complete, shows that the life cycle of a glacier can be more complex than originally perceived.

This
report
discusses
how
natural
processes
and
human
activities
affect
the
interactions
of
ground
water
and
surface
water,
and
the
importance
of
considering
ground
water
and
surface
water
as
a
single
resource.
Topics
include
natural
processes
of
ground-
and
surface-water
interaction;
chemical
interactions;
and
the
effect
of
landscapes
on
these
interactions.
There
is

These illustrations and accompanying descriptions outline the basic concepts of groundwater aquifers. Users may learn definitions of basic terms (aquifer, confined, unconfined, water table) and see how the properties and orientations of rock layers act to accumulate water, which can then flow out or be pumped out by a well.

Groundwater
is
an
important
and
bountiful
source
of
fresh
water
for
irrigation,
industry,
and
drinking.
This
resource
covers
basic
concepts
of
the
hydrologic
cycle,
hydrogeology,
supply
and
demand,
and
contaminants
that
can
affect
water
quality.
Suggestions
for
community
action
to
help
protect
and
conserve
groundwater
are
outlined,

Hydrogeology deals with the occurrence, movement and quality of water beneath the Earth's surface. Materials presented here outline the basic terms and principles of hydrogeology. Users can read text and view pictures that explain groundwater, wells, and aquifers. The final section discusses the possible consequences of excessive withdrawal of water from an aquifer.

This three-part module covers the major concepts of the chemistry of water, at a level appropriate for late primary and early intermediate learners. Key vocabulary words are defined using examples that are relevant to children's lives. Each part of the module contains an activity or experiment to reinforce the science content that was covered.
