3. Water on the Earth
61
With the information obtained, each group will make a poster with
images and texts showing the importance of water in our
daily life and the methods we can take to use
and conserve it. Include the most original
and creative slogans your group has written.
The posters will be exhibited in the classroom
and later a round table will be formed to share
the information obtained. One student will take
notes and make one list of the measures each
group proposes to save water. This list will be hung
next to the posters, visible to everyone.
Communication and Publication
4. Find out which types of water resources there are in your area (fresh
water that is found in rivers, streams, aquifers, reservoirs,
lagoons, etc.), and investigate how it is exploited and how
much water is supplied. For example, do you know why
dams and reservoirs are built?
5. Find a water treatment or wastewater treatment plant near
your town, make notes on how it works, and reflect on the
importance it has for daily life.
6. Look for examples of misuse of water and think about ways
that help to resolve or reduce the dangers of the situation, so
that people can continue using it as a basic resource that
can be shared and conserved.
