Teacher Notes (not visible to students)
In honour of World Water Day (https://www.worldwaterday.org/), thought it would be great for kids to become more aware of their consumption of water. The activities are not age specific. There are 3 activities: Water Watch (they can observe their immediate surroundings and notice what requires water), Thirsty Food (Bit of a mathematical activity and understanding that water goes into the production of food and drink), and My Water Promise (The original word is often Pledge however, I wanted this to be more accessible to younger students - so I chose to use the word Promise instead) These activities are taken from Youth and United Nations Global Alliance (YUNGA). https://www.fao.org/yunga/resources/challenge-badges/water/en/ Resources that are used and mentioned: https://youtu.be/HewrayqUscs (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations video about Groundwater - subtitled but no voice over) https://wateruseitwisely.com/tips/category/kids-tips/ (Water Use It Wisely Tips for conserving water for kids) https://www.watereducation.org/post/food-facts-how-much-water-does-it-take-produce (Water Education's facts on water use in production of food and drink (in imperial system measurement)
