Water Wise

All life on Earth depends on a consistent and safe source of water for survival. Since water is necessary for the survival of all organisms (plants and animals, including humans) we must use it wisely! Water conservation is the practice of using water efficiently to limit water waste. For example, consider your own use of water. How much water are you using per day? How can you improve your conservation of water? In this lesson, students will reflect on their daily water use, what natural resources provide us with our water supply, and explore different ways to conserve water. At the end of the lesson, students will have a strong understanding of water conservation and natural resources, and will be able to conduct their own research project.
