Notes to myself for tomorrow:

After reading an expository text, students will be able to:

Create a written

description explaining that drinking water

comes from either surface

water or groundwater.

Explain that water may

contain chemical or biological

contaminants, which may come from

water waste.

Use appropriate

tools and techniques to

gather, analyze, and interpret

data.

Water falls to the surface of the earth in the form of rain. Most evaporates or runs off to lower elevations.

This water accumulates in ponds, lakes, rivers andoceans. The water they contain is called surface water.

Some water soaks into the ground, depending on soil and rock cover.

This water can saturate porous sediments and sedimentary rock. Layers of these rocks, filled with water, are called aquifers. They contain groundwater.

Aquifers accumulate rainfall slowly. Their water maybe hundreds or thousands of years old. Wells drilled into aquifers tap into this stored water.

Water accumulates and travels very slowly in an aquifer. Therefore, contaminants that were added to surface water or materials buried below the surface may not appear in nearby well sites for years.
