In this Mystery, students construct an explanation about a surprising

phenomenon: the existence of underground water. In the activity,

Wanted: A Well, students play a game in which they must obtain and

combine information about groundwater in order to select the best site

to build a town. They evaluate the features of the landscape, plants in

the area, and clues from the soil and then decide where to dig a well.

Questions When you turn on the faucet, where does the water come from?

Activity 1. This week we will continue our unit about the importance of

Earth’s fresh water. Our lesson is called, “When you turn on the

faucet, where does the water come from?” We will learn how in

many places water can seep into porous ground and remain there.

These places are called aquifers, and these are where many

people get their drinking water from.

2. You can encourage your child’s curiosity at home! Watch and

discuss this video where people are pulling up water from deep

underground: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StWCNiLuMxI

3. Spark a conversation by asking your child, “What is this

structure called?” (It’s a well.) “Why do you think there is

water in the ground—where do you think it came from?” If you

know any family members or friends who get their water from a

well, this would be a great opportunity to mention it to your

child, helping them to make a more personal connection to the

ideas.

4. Watch mystery and answer questions as you go.

5. Experiment: Do the experiment taking pictures as you go if you

have the equipment. Follow the mystery with the instructions of

the activity. If you need to improvise please do. You need:

scissors, spoon, table covering, paper towels, water, food

coloring, clear box or bowl, gravel, straw, pump from soap

dispenser, handouts

6. Complete activity from handouts.

7. Complete assessment.

8. Complete Aquifer Station activity if you have time. This is an

additional activity. Tasks: Wednesday Must Do
