Water Conservation WebQuest

Designer: Kristine Sigle

Upon the completion of this lesson, the students should demonstrate their knowledge of water conservation. They will obtain a definition, an understanding of importance, facts and statistics to support conservation, as well as tips on how to conserve water.

They will also apply their knowledge of both fresh and saltwater resources, as well as the water cycle as they create an informational brochure. I hope that in making this real life application, each student can see how he/she impacts this cycle on a daily basis. At the conclusion of this lesson, each student will be left with an informational pamphlet that can be shared at home to help teach others about water conservation.
