Teachers Love This Resource!
Vessa ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Extremely Satisfied
The lab so clearly demonstrates the comparison of salt and freshwater as well as where water is found. My kids loved this lab! Reading passages really sealed the learned and were tied nicely to CCSS for RI text.
Crystal ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Extremely Satisfied
This worked perfectly to supplement our unit on the Global Water Crisis to give students a visual in the distribution of water on Earth. It also worked as a great assessment (for the reflection questions).
If you use all of the pieces of this unit, it will take about two weeks to complete. See more details about this unit on my blog, Water Distribution Unit
