Middle School Unit - Water as a Global Resource
Overview
This unit will examine the scientific concepts of water cycle and watersheds. It will also go into historical events that have contributed to increased access to clean water as well as crises that exist around the world. We will explore the question ‘is water is a right’ and explore if it should be a shared societal priority to keep it clean. Finally, students will advocate for the importance of caring for and cleaning the water around us.
