Water 

Children are very familiar with water as they use it everyday, however it is important to get them thinking about water in more complex ways. 

*Clean water is necessary for all living things to survive 

*Water makes up more than half of the human body and about 70% of the Earth

Activity: 

1.) Children can record their water use with a simple water use calculator or a table (made by the teacher or found online). 

*This can be done at home and at school to compare the usage-what ways do you use water the same? Differently?*

This is an example of a water use calculator, although it is too complicated for children to use on their own:   https://www.watercalculator.org/wfc2/q/baths/

2.) Children can research ways to conserve water and make a campaign poster that encourages a change in how we use water.
