Know Water

Teresa from Know Water came into our class to educate us about fresh water on earth.  It was very interesting.  With this new knowledge we are challenged to think more carefully before we turn on the tap and as to what we put down the sink!
Did you know?!

70% of earth’s surface is water.

2% of water on earth is ice

97% of water is saltwater

1% is fresh water, most is locked underground.

0.03% of the earth's fresh water is above ground in the form of fresh rivers and streams.

Kate, Lily and Estie hold water representing the water on earth.

We brainstormed on what we put into the water

Spot the clean, fresh water!

How can we save water?

*Only use what you need.

*Wash hands in a bucket.

*Turn off the tap when you’re brushing teeth.

*Use eco products (environmentally friendly).

*Have quick showers.

*Raise money to help get fresh water outlets to communities who don’t have fresh water.
