Our Water Our Lives

Our Water, Our Lives: A Series of Water Units for Intermediate Elementary 

Water is crucial to human survival. Historically, humans have settled close to bodies of water for this reason. Our Water, Our Lives is a collection of educational Water Units that cover water resources and water-related challenges for communities and regions in the United States.  The goal of Our Water, Our Lives is to help students realize that they can contribute solutions to water-related challenges with their unique experience and knowledge. As students learn about the science of water, its uses for human and ecological systems, and its role in the development of culture, they begin thinking of themselves as future leaders that will solve these STEM-centered problems.
