04+Water

This week we learn about how water is used and overused locally, nationally, and internationally. We will learn about water purification, pollutants, and sustainable solutions that should be considered for future generations.
 * How can we provide water to meet human needs sustainably? **


 * Relevant standard example to share with your students:** Grade 6. Science. Strand 4. Concept 3. PO2 (page 6) Describe how the following environmental conditions effect the quality of life:
 * Water quality
 * Climate
 * Population density
 * Smog

This week, students have the opportunity to choose from five different stations and decide how they would like to best display their learning and understanding. One classroom management strategy implemented this week is giving students choices. By giving students options, you put the control back in their hands and give them the opportunity to own their learning preference. This power of choice and ownership of learning will often help to increase student engagement and provide students with multiple perspectives on a topic (Wong, p.298).
