Water Conservation

What is Water Conservation?

How can you teach others about the importance of water conservation?

Water conservation is a particular need in San Diego since we have no direct source of fresh water. Teaching others about the need to conserve water is very important.

The driving question that students will answer is: How can I teach others about the need to conserve water?

Students can select the product that they would like to have at the end of this project. First, they will research water conservation and take detailed notes in their journals. Next, they will decide what type of project they want to create to teach others about water conservation. Their end product can be a skit, report, poster, brochure, video, or alternative project approved by you, the teacher.
