How can we save water? Free Kindergarten - First Grade Lesson

https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/How-can-we-save-water-3454157

Teach students how to save water by comparing photographs of a girl brushing her teeth with the water on and the girl turning the water off. Students will also decide if it is better to take a bath or a shower to save water. 

At the end of the lessons, students will receive a certificate. They promise how they are going to conserve water. 

This free lesson was created by members of Robot-O-Build, our school’s robotics team. We are competing in the First Lego League Tournament. The theme of this year’s competition is Hydro Dynamics. We wanted to teach kindergarten and first grade students how to save water. 

As part of our First Lego League Robotics Tournament, we would like to find out how many students will be using our lesson and where their school is located. Please go to http://robot-o-build.blogspot.com/2017/05/please-help-us-find-out-how-many.html and complete the questionnaire. With education, hopefully we can teach people how to conserve water around the world one class and one student at a time. 

FREE Water Conservation Lessons

Students read the informational article in which five water experts were contacted and asked to state what they believed were the best ways to save water. 

Students read the one page article about Michael D. Cahn and James Cloern's ways to save water.  The students respond to seven comprehension questions. 

The teacher copies 1 - 4 pages of the informational text.  The students will read about ways to conserve water from  2 - 5 water experts.  The students complete a table and list three ways to save water next to the water experts' names. The students then use the information from the table to write an essay comparing and contrasting the similarities and the differences between the water experts’ ways to conserve water.

At the end of the lessons, students will receive a certificate as they promise how they are going to conserve water. The students will also write the names of the people who they have taught how to save water. 

We have included vocabulary cards to help students understand difficult words from the informational article.
