1. Porosity and Permeability Introduction
You will use Prezi as an introduction to porosity and permeability. As you view the presentation, you will take notes in your science binder. At the end, complete the Exit Survey and turn it into the teacher.
SUBSTITUTION
Technology acts a direct substitute,
with no functional improvement
Log on to Mrs. Raley’s Blackboard.
Click on Websites.
Click on Porosity and Permeability Prezi.
Navigate through the Prezi.
As you view the presentation, take notes in your science binder on the following:
Define porosity and permeability.
Determine the factors that affect porosity and permeability.
Observe what types of rocks are considered permeable or impermeable.
Complete the Exit Survey on a separate sheet of paper.
Turn in your completed survey to the teacher as you leave the classroom.
This task uses:
Learning Objective(s):
The Student will read and take notes using the Porosity and Permeability Prezi.

Start the Porosity and Permeability video.
During the video, it will pause or you to answer questions. If you are unsure of the answer, you can replay the section.
This task uses:
Learning Objective(s):
The student will describe what is groundwater.
The student will define the terms porosity and permeability.
The student will discuss the variability in porosity and permeability in different earth materials.

3. Investigating AquifersM
Investigating Aquifers
You will create 2 Google slides that includes the results from the NMSI lesson you completed in class. Your group will be required to view another groups graph and compare and contrast your results with theirs.
MODIFICATION
Technology allows for the creation of new tasks that were previously not conceivable
Log on to Mrs. Raley’s Blackboard.
Click on Websites.
Click on the link for Investigating Aquifers Google Slides.
Read the Instructions slide that is located in the Google Slides document. This will take you through the rest of the assignment.
This task uses:
Learning Objective(s):
The students will be able to describe porosity and permeability in sand, gravel, and clay.
The students will compare and contrast data results with other groups in the class.

Grade Level/Subject: 8th Grade/ Science
Special Directions/Considerations: You will need a google account and set up a presentation for the students to get started.
Activity Evaluation: The teacher will read the notes that other groups have added into the presentation.
Prerequisites for students: Completion of the Porosity and Permeability Prezi and Edpuzzle as well as the Investigating Porosity and Permeability NMSI lesson.

4. Demonstrating Aquifers
Students will create an aquifer using the best materials they observed in the NMSI lesson. They are responsible for creating an iMovie demonstrating their aquifer at work and explain why they used the materials they did.
REDEFINITION Technology allows for the creation of new tasks that were previously not conceivable
Design an aquifer using information they gained from the Investigating Porosity and Permeability NMSI lesson.
You will create an iMovie that includes a demonstration of your aquifer at work and an explanation of why you chose the materials shown in your video.
Save your video on the camera roll on the iPad.
Upload your completed video onto Padlet.
Click the plus sign or double click on the Board titled Demonstrating Aquifers. Type your student nickname and add your video.
On Padlet, you must view 2 other videos from other class periods and compare and critique results.
See rubric for the iMovie on the next slide.
This task uses:
Learning Objective(s):
Students will demonstrate an understanding of how aquifers work and what materials make good aquifers.
