Saving water and pollution in the water cycle | 7–9 years
Connect your curriculum teaching on water and the water cycle to engaging sustainability contexts. This topic web suggests classroom activities on pollution in the water cycle, how water is cleaned and how we can use less of it.
How does pollution affect people’s access to clean water? How much water do we use each day and can we reduce this? This topic web contains sustainability context ideas and classroom activity suggestions for teaching about water and the water cycle to 7–9 year olds. Estimate your water usage, or explore pollution in the water cycle and how you can clean dirty water.
Each web explains the background science, describes how scientists are working in this field, and suggests ways to explore this in the classroom
