A) Where’s Earth’s Waters Reading Sheet

In this part, students will read key information about salt and fresh water, water usage and scarcity.

After reading, students will complete a fill in the blank activity related to the reading passage. They will also complete a word search activity about related terminologies.

B) Solution to water scarcity reading sheet

In this part, students read about 5 technological solutions currently being explored to solve water scarcity.

After reading, students will be either assigned or choose one of the 5 solutions and prepare a “pitch” to convince a hypothetical audience why their selected tech should be the top priority to solve the water scaricty problem.

I have included “questions from the audience” that students will answer. Afterwards, they will present their “pitch” to the class. I have included additional suggestions and tips in the teacher guide.

I truly believe this resource will be an awesome addition to your Salt and Fresh Water unit and help your students explore such an important topic through activities they will love. There is very little preparation time which is a win for the teacher.
