Water Unit Presentation Day (By I.L.)

For our Water Unit, all of the kids in the class chose a water issue to research for our summative assessment. Some issues were: water pollution, oil spills, sinkholes and erosion.  Once we decided what to learn about, we had to research about it. Then we took notes and put them on our Power Point presentations. We also researched lab

experiments and wrote up a lab report.Our experiments were about water properties that were connected to our water issues and included: states of water, cohesion/adhesion, density and capillary action. In the end, our Power Point showed what we learned about a water issue, a water property that connected with it, its effects on the environment, world solutions and also what we can do. We talked and talked during our presentation day, and repeated the same thing to different people, but it was still cool to see the adults learning.  I thought it was an awesome day, except that we all finished feeling thirsty!
