On
April 5th, 6th and 7th, sixth grades students were visited by Kat Munson of
the Cumberland County Soil and Water Conservation District, as well as a
representative from the Yarmouth Water District. The goal of this visit was for
students to understand that their drinking water comes from groundwater,
to learn the characteristics of North Yarmouth's drinking water, and to
understand the surface-groundwater connection and the role humans play
in this system. They constructed a model that shows what happens when
pollutants introduced at the surface make their way into the
groundwater. It was a wonderful, educational , hands-on experience for
our budding young scientists!
