This document appears to be a student worksheet assessing understanding of groundwater-related concepts. It evaluates the student's analysis of a rock sample, definition of porosity and why it matters to farmers, drawing of the water cycle, and knowledge of where most water on Earth is found and whether it is usable by humans. The student received proficient marks in several categories, showing they correctly identified aspects like the rock sample being poorly sorted and explaining why oceans water is not usable.

Groundwater Learning Check One
The rock sample to the left is 1. Not Proficient You did not circle an answer or circled B or C 2. Proficient
You identified that the rock sample was poorly sorted
What is porosity? Why do farmers care about it?
3. Proficient
You correctly define porosity as the open space in between
sediments that can be filled with air or liquids AND indicate that farmers need the ground to be porous in order for their plants to get water from the soil.
2. Becoming Proficient
You correctly define porosity but do not indicate that farmers
need the ground to be porous in order for their plants to get water from the soil OR vice versa.
1. Getting Started
You do not define porosity correctly and your reason why
farmers care about porosity is not related to the reason stated above
Draw the water cycle.
3. Proficient
Your water cycle drawing includes evaporation, condensation,
precipitation, runoff, infiltration and transpiration and correctly depicts each term.
2. Becoming Proficient
Your drawing includes all of the terms but does not correctly depict what each term looks like
1. Getting Started
You drawing is missing some terms or incorrectly depicts
what each of the terms looks like
Where is most water on Earth found? Is it usable by humans? Why or why not? 3. Proficient
You explain that most water is found in the oceans and that it is not usable by humans because the oceans are made of salt water.
2. Becoming Proficient
You explain that most water is found in the oceans and that it is not usable by humans but do not explain why
1. Getting Started
You say that most water is found in the ocean but do not say if it is usable by humans or explain it.
