Conserving Water

Our current focus in science is air and water in the environment. We have been talking about water in our environment over the past few weeks. Students previously explored the steps of the water cycle. We know a lot about condensation, evaporation and precipitation. Ask your child about it!

 This week students worked on a water activity. We explored the ways people use water in the environment. We talked about how we use water at home and focused on what it means to conserve water. We came up with many things we could do at home or at school to conserve (or save) water. We also explored why it is so important to conserve water and what we could do to make sure people know all about it!

 Students worked hard all week on creating posters about what we can do to conserve water. They wrote about what we people can do to conserve water and why it is important. Our goal was to teach people that we all need to do our part to make sure we take care of the water we have and conserve it so we don't waste it!

 We created a video using the 30 Hands iPad app to showcase all of our posters. Students did a wonderful job of demonstrating what we can do to conserve water and why it is so important to our environment. Enjoy! How else can we conserve water? Students used other tools to communicate what they've learned this week. Have a look at some of our creations:
