The lesson “Water Sources and Contamination” further develops the children’s understanding of the water cycle, as they name the three primary sources of water: surface water, groundwater, and rain water. Each child will explain how a water source can become contaminated and the dangers involved. Each child will create his or her own “water collage.” The lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner. This lesson is designed for children between 6-8 years, and is the 14th lesson in the 1st Year “Water” unit.
