Teacher Guide
This lesson is designed to teach kids to ask a critical thinking question that you can’t just put into a search box to
solve. To do that, we encourage them with smaller questions that search can help them answer. Make sure that
you read the notes for each slide: they not only give you teaching tips but also provide answers and hints so you
can help the kids if they are having trouble.

These depressions in the sands of the Sahara Desert allow people to reach the
aquifers of Adjder oasis here in south-central Algeria. Traditionally, people
raised the water by hand using beasts of burden, but today, electric pumps
draw water from the wells to irrigate palm trees and other vegetation on the
floor of the craters. Fences along the rims prevent the shifting sands from
burying the gardens and pumps. In addition to irrigating these crops, the
pumps send water to residents of Timimoun, a centuries-old village southeast
of the oasis. Visitors to Timimoun often come to travel the Sebkha Circuit, a
hike through portions of the Sahara that offers views of the dunes, caves, and
a salt lake.
