1. How Lake Michigan is refilled since we're constantly taking water out of it!
2. The "Mystery Pipe" in the sewer system...
We turned to a video investigation idea to help us with how the lake refills, figuring out that rain can't possibly be the only way the Lake refills. We totally had an aha! moment when we realized that runoff and infiltration play a role in refilling it!
The Water Cycle
This video uses animation, graphics, and video clips to illustrate and explain each of the "flow" and "storage" processes in the Hydrologic Cycle, more commonly known as the Water Cycle: precipitation, interception, runoff, infiltration, percolation, groundwater discharge, evaporation, transpiration, evapotranspiration, and condensation.

And we also wanted to see just how many questions we could answer that we asked throughout our unit...
And boy, are we proud! Our DQB is virtually empty of questions! We answered SO MANY!
