Curriculum for Water Unit
As we began to develop our curriculum we thought the topic could be divided into two categories: fresh water and salt water.  Click on a link below for a list of topics that fall into each category.  Each topic will include not only a description of activities in and out of the classroom, but also examples of homework and experiments that may be used to reinforce understanding of the topic.  Links will also be provided to student drawings and writings generated around individual topics.
 
 

Fresh Water

 

Salt Water

As a culminating activity we asked students to give a presentation to their fellow classmates.  The instructions were that each student in the class will present two things that they have learned in the water unit.  This presentation can be done by reading a report, making a poster, singing a song, writing a role play or by giving an oral presentation.
