The Friendship Journey -- Aquifer Sundaes

As students gathered from around the world to study science with us, we made models of aquifers using ice cream and lemon-lime soda.  Our aquifer sundaes helped us to see how pollutants, poured onto the surface, can seep into the ground water and pollute the aquifers.  Our sundaes were good to eat, but we learned how important it is to be aware of our use of chemicals and hazardous products in our homes and yards.  Students devised strategies and plans for protecting the groundwater supply.
