1. Bellwork
We have talked about groundwater and some of the ways it can become contaminated.
So...what could be in our drinking water?
Explore this website to find out!

2. Objective
Explore the relationship between porosity and permeability empirically.

3. Porosity vs. Permeability
Porosity = amount of water that can be stored in the pore spaces (air pockets)
Permeability = ability of water to flow through connected pore spaces 3

4. How does soil particle size affect porosity and permeability?
Question
How does soil particle size affect porosity and permeability?
How can we make this question into a statement of purpose for our lab?

5. 2. Research/Prior Knowledge What do we already know about:
Soil particles?
Porosity?
Permeability?

6. (If...then statement that makes a prediction about the question)
3. Hypothesis
(If...then statement that makes a prediction about the question)

7. 4. Experiment
How can we test PERMEABILITY of different soil particles?
Independent Variable:
Dependent Variable:
Materials:
Procedure:

8. What do the graphs suggest?
