Water for Everyone1 Preview and Predict Read the unit title aloud and encourage

children to flip through the unit. Ask: What do you think you will learn? What makes you think that?

2 Introduce the Big Question Ask: How do you use water? How do you get the water? Where do you see water in nature? (Answers will vary.)

Read aloud the Big Question. Have children share possible answers. Encourage them to provide details. List the answers.

3 Build Background Preview the video: Now we will play a video that tells us about water. We’ll learn about how all living things need water to survive and where water comes from.

Discuss the video:

• What do people need water for?

• What are the main forms of water on Earth? Which are salt water and which are fresh water?

• How can people save water?

• How do the sounds and images help you learn about water? Do you get more information from the words or from the images?

4 Share What You Know Review the three steps of the directions. Explain: To complete the activity, you will need to think about:

• ways that people use water

• how to show the ways that people use water by acting them out

As a class, brainstorm ways that people use water. In addition to personal use, encourage children to think about how people use water to raise animals and grow food. Have them talk about machines that they use that need water to function.

Display all the group posters in the classroom. Encourage children to refer back to them for ideas as they work through the unit.
