Water Is Useful

This week we have been studying about different landforms and bodies of water. As a part of our study, the students wrote and illustrated at least one way that they use water. Students who find lessons relevant to their own lives are more likely to remember what they were taught. The students also created a foldable of the earth to learn how much of the earth is covered in water. The students took a circle and folded it into fourths, which was a good review of fractions, and colored in three out of four parts blue to show that the earth is made of mostly water. They colored the last part green to show that one out of four parts are land.
