Water Conservation

Lesson Description:
In this lesson students will explore the different types of water reserves present on this planet and the reasons why, on a “blue planet”, fresh water is still a scarce resource that needs to be preserved and protected. Students will examine the ways in which water is used in their everyday lives and the simple measures that they can take in their every day lives that can make big differences to the amount of water they use.
