Sharing the planet

Water, Water, Everywhere!

Central Idea:

Our planet has limited resources that are unevenly distributed.

An Inquiry Into:

  • Where water comes from (the water cycle)
  • How we use water, how much water we use, and what happens after we have used it
  • The distribution and availability of usable water
  • How human activity has affected the availability of usable water
  • Our responsibility for water conservation
