This
slide
show
provides
information
to
guide
pesticide
users
in
applying
pesticides
in
a
manner
that
will
protect
groundwater
as
much
as
possible
from
contamination.
The
slide
show
covers
properties
of
pesticides,
soil,
and
groundwater
that
are
likely
to
worsen
contamination
and
provides
suggestions
for
handling
and
applying
them.
Other
topics
include
basic
geology
of
groundwater
and
potential
health

This
teacher-directed
demonstration
provides
a
conceptual
understanding
of
latent
heat.
Using
the
example
of
a
chemical
hand
warmer,
students
learn
about
phase
changes
from
liquid
to
solid
and
from
solid
to
liquid
and
observe
that
one
of
these
phase
changes
releases
heat
while
the
other
requires
heat
to
be
added.
These
concepts
are
then
reinforced
in
a
demonstration
which
involves
heating
water
and

In
this
activity,
students
construct
a
"comet"
from
ingredients
similar
to
those
found
in
actual
comets.
They
will
learn
about
the
behavior
of
a
real
comet
by
observing
their
model
as
the
dry
ice
sublimates,
and
understand
the
concept
of
scale
as
they
compare
the
size
of
their
model
to
the
size
of
a
real
comet.
A
list
of
materials
and
instructions
are
provided.
This
activity
can
be
performed

This
kinesthetic
science
activity
reintroduces
participants
to
three
states
of
matter
(solid,
liquid,
gas),
and
introduces
them
to
a
fourth
state
of
matter,
plasma,
and
its
connection
to
the
Sun.
It
also
demonstrates
how
the
addition
of
energy
can
transform
matter
from
one
state
to
another.
The
activity
reviews
common
examples
of
matter
in
each
state,
like
liquid
water
and
water
ice,
oxygen
and
carbon

This
demonstration
is
designed
to
show
the
effect
of
acid
on
statues
and
buildings.
Students
will
learn
how
acid
rain
is
an
air
pollution
problem
as
the
teacher
discusses
the
slow
deterioration
of
statues
and
buildings
due
to
the
weak
acid
rain
that
falls
on
them.
Students
will
learn
that
the
sulfur
and
nitrogen
compounds
that
contribute
to
acid
rain
primarily
come
from
man-made
sources,
such
as
industries

quality
investigations.
It
provides
background
information
on
nitrates
and
how
it
affects
water
quality.
It

laboratory
investigation,
and
a
self-study
game.
The
purpose
of
the
site
is
to
