Ways in Which Water is Used Activities:
This activity highlights how damaging oil can be in our water and to the animals that live in it. Place feathers in water and take observations of it. Then pour a little bit of oil in the water to see the affects of it on the water and the feathers. Then clean feathers off with fresh water to see how hard it is to get oil out of it.
Let's talk about hydrology! Hydrology is the study of water and its properties. Have children go around the school or even their homes to search for sources of water. Some sources include water fountains, sinks, showers, toilets, heating systems, sprinkler systems, and more. Children could document what sources of water they use over the course of a few days.

Technology on Water and Water Conservation:
Children can begin to think of water conservation when they do a water footprint calculator. This is something children can do with their families as well, to get an idea of how much water everyone is using, and how to move forward when trying to conserve.
