Aquifer Model

Have you ever wondered what happens to the water 
on the ground when it rains?

 We investigated how to make an Aquifer model.

First
We used little aquarium stones to represent rocks 
in the bottom of our tank.
Next
We added some soil to represent the Earth crust.
Then
We cut some grass and put it on top to represent 
the plants growing.
.
Finally
We poured in some coloured blue water and 
watched to see what would happen.

Lastly
We all had a turn using the pump to suck the water up 
from the rock layer, the water table, to the surface.
