Distribute another copy of the student page. Ask students to practice some ways to save water and use this new copy of the student page to keep track of their water use throughout the rest of the school day. Calculate amount of water conserved. Have students compare their two charts to calculate the amount of water saved. Discuss their findings.
Groups estimate possible water savings.
Divide class into small groups, and ask students to estimate how much water could be conserved in one day if every person in the school tried to conserve water. Reflect, summarize and discuss. Ask groups to report their estimates. Permission is granted to reproduce for educational non-commercial uses if this message is shown. All rights reserved.
