Groundwater science
Water is a resource that needs careful management to ensure it is used sustainably. In this data set, students analyse real research data about the sustainability of groundwater on Rottnest Island. These activities are suitable for students in Years 7 to 10.
Students will:
- understand the concepts of groundwater and aquifers and the role of the water cycle
- use MS Excel to construct simple graphs (or draw graphs by hand)
- interpret and analyse graphs and other representations of data
- investigate the effects of a changing climate on groundwater resources
- distinguish between correlation and causation
Investigating isotopes
Learn about isotopes using real examples and real data, including comprehensive isotopic data of the first twenty chemical elements in the periodic table (hydrogen to calcium). Teachers can use the accompanying worksheet, in sections or in its entirety, to develop student literacy, numeracy, critical and creative thinking and ICT skills. These activities are suitable for students in Years 9 to 12.
Students will:
- learn how the number of neutrons and protons in an isotope affects its nuclear properties
- construct a section of the table of isotopes, using MS Excel
- investigate the properties and uses of different isotopes
