4. About 75% of Earth is covered in water A lot of this water is either unavailable to us or undrinkable. Why? Only 3 percent of the water on Earth is freshwater! But still some of this water is unavailable to us… It’s frozen! ~ 2% It’s polluted! Groundwater- hard to get to In the atmosphere (clouds) Only about 1% of the water on our planet can be used by us for drinking.

5. Water Wonders Activity What are some different places water can go as it moves through and around Earth? We are going to become water drops and move through the world like water does! Cloud, Stream, Ocean, Plant , Animal, Ice (Glacier)

11. Ways to conserve and protect for all… Better irrigation for big farms Eat local, seasonally when possible, Grow food right for their local weather Eat less meat products Shorter showers install low-flow bathroom fixtures in shower and toilet, Turn off the sink when you aren’t using it P lant native plants instead of a grass & Many others!

19. Ways we can conserve water

20. The Big Ideas The water on Earth is the only water that has been and will ever be on Earth! Unequal use of water (agriculture, household, industry, environment) Dams can be harmful to wildlife Everything you own uses water even if you can’t see it with your eyes (clothes, cars, candy) We have a finite amount of fresh water we can use so we need to learn to share!
