Water on the Web : Basic Science Teacher Index
WOW lessons are designed for infusion into the existing science curriculums for college freshmen and advanced high school students. The lessons use the aquatic environment and real lake data to explore basic science concepts through two different approaches: a directed study "Studying" and an inquiry "Investigating" approach. The directed studies allow students to apply and learn concepts through direct, guided experience. The inquiry lessons provide a more open-ended opportunity for students to discover the same concepts.

Where Does Water Come From?
http://www.4learning.co.uk/essentials/geography/units/water_bi.shtml
Where Does Water Come From and how is it treated?
450 million people today face water shortages, but people in rich countries are wasting it. We are used to turning on the tap and having fresh, running water whenever we want it. Each person needs 80 litres of water per day for health and hygiene. The average American uses 500 litres per day. To make one small car requires 450,000 litres of water!

Oceans Virtual Field Trip
How many oceans are there? You might say four or five, or you might say seven. In fact, there is one tremendous global ocean which is categorized into regions or "sub oceans". The Pacific Ocean is the largest, containing more than half of the world's water. Oceans cover 70% of the earth's surface and hold 97% of the water on our planet Earth.Of the remaining water, less than 1% is fresh. On average, it is estimated that there are 25,000 species of fish in the oceans! The largest animal is the blue whale which grows to more than 100 feet and weighs the equivalent of 50 full-grown elephants!

Water : 4 2 Explore
http://eduscapes.com/42explore/water.htm
This web project provides "four to explore" for each topic.
On each page you'll find definitions, activities, 4 good starting points, and many more links and resources for the thematic topic.
In some cases, we've listed more than four websites on a particular topic. For example, we might provide a few for younger readers and others for more advanced learners.
Each school, classroom, and teacher is unique. As such we didn't try to provide specific activities for particular grade levels. Instead we suggest that teachers explore each link, then design specific, developmentally appropriate activities such as discussion questions, small group activities, or webquests to fit the needs of their curriculum.
The links on this site are safe for children.
