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/
This is an example of how children could present how they use water to their peers:
2.) Children can research ways to conserve water and make a campaign poster that encourages a change in how we use water.
