Students will research Earth’s water distribution and discuss the argument that very little of Earth’s water is available for human use. They will use graphs, readings, and teamwork exercises to support their findings.
The Energy Coalition will send you sticky notes to bring this lesson to life.
Lesson Objective: Students will use mathematical and conceptual thinking to analyze data and graph the percentages of saltwater and freshwater in various reservoirs as evidence of the natural distribution of water on Earth, to show scale, proportion, and quantity.
Suggested Teaching Time: 80 min
NGSS Standards: 3-ESS2-1, 4-ESS2-2, 5-ESS2-2
