Children’s Story Books

Spring Waters, Gathering Places
Five short, beautifully illustrated stories chronicle the use of spring waters by the animal world, native culture, civil war, Oklahoma pioneers and Teddy Roosevelt. Three sections follow with lessons about the water cycle, the creation of springs and our bodies' dependence on healthy water.

The Ground Water Flow Models

Take a fascinating journey underground, right in the classroom. The Ground Water Flow Model is used to demonstrate key concepts about the physics and contamination of water as it moves under the earth’s surface. Used extensively by earth science educators, soil and water conservation districts, university professors and natural resource educators, it’s simple to operate and guaranteed to increase students’ understanding of groundwater.

The model demonstrates the movement of ground water through two types of aquifers: an unconfined aquifer of white sand and a confined aquifer of gravel located near the bottom, separated by a semi-impervious clay/sand layer. All models include integrated infiltration zone, pumping wells, observation wells, pond, and river profile and leaky underground storage tank. The model is constructed of clear plexiglass and is 24-inches long, 12-inches high and one-inch thick. Fully portable and easy to clean, all models are handmade in Bozeman, Montana.

Model 3, filled model, educational materials and equipment. Includes: Instructional video and manual, vacuum pump, tubing, flask, rubber stoppers, water containers, squirt bottles and plastic storage tub. Contains everything needed.

Model 4, filled model educational materials, all equipment and storage/shipping trunk.
