For this reason seven to ten hours are allotted for this section. Conserving Water and Aquatic Habitat Designed as a three hour segment to emphasize the contribution that everyone in society makes to the water quality problem, these three activities can also be used to bridge into a teacher-developed Life Science unit which examines the relationship between aquatic organisms and water quality. Three hours should be adequate to accomplish the objectives of this section. These sample lesson plans are intended to show how the Common Essential Learnings, the factors of scientific literacy, and evaluation can be integrated into Science 10 lessons. Discuss the story, drawing out students' ideas on the significance of the story.
Life is completely dependent on water.
No one owns the water. People have always sought to explain the way the world operates by making observations and drawing inferences. The methods of science are one way to help in the search for understanding. Divide the students into heterogeneous working groups. Assign roles for each group member.
