- 3. WATER IS LIFE Water regulates the temperature of the human body, carries nutrients and oxygen to cells, cushions joints, protects organs and tissues, and removes wastes. A person might live a month without food, but only a week without water. Water could be the key to finding life. ... Almost all Earth's water is in the oceans. ... Most freshwater is in ice. ... The amount of salt in salt water varies. ... A lot can live in one drop of water. ... It's really great that ice floats. ... Our bodies are mostly water.
- 4. Water and sanitation data are essential for stronger accountability, increased commitment and investments, and more effective decision-making. As part of its core role, the UN-Water Integrated Monitoring Initiative for SDG 6 (IMI- SDG6) presents a series of acceleration snapshots to draw attention to successful country action in delivering SDG 6 The Lazy Persons Guide to Saving Water If you are a teacher or student, organize/propose a lesson on water or get the whole school involved in water and sanitation-themed activities. Protect nature. Plant a tree or create a raingarden use natural solutions to reduce the risk of flooding and store water. Build pressure. Write to elected representatives about budgets for improving water at home and abroad. Stop polluting. Dont put food waste, oils, medicines and chemicals down my toilet or drains.
- 5. LEARN Right now, we are seriously off-track to meet Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6: water and sanitation for all by 2030. Billions of people and countless schools, businesses, healthcare centres, farms and factories dont have the safe water and toilets they need. To accelerate change, we need more action. SHARE Everything you need to share the campaign is here. Your activation kit will help you promote World Water Day 2023 to all your friends and contacts. You can even get sustainably produced merchandise to spread the message offline in the real world! ACT Be the change you want to see in the world. In the ancient story, the hummingbird carries drops of water to put out a great fire. She was doing everything she could. This World Water Day is about accelerating change to solve the water and sanitation crisis. And because water affects us all, we need everyone to take action. That means you! You and your family, school and community can make a difference by changing the way you use, consume and manage water in your lives.
- 6. 10 Interesting Things About Water The Brief Overview Water is essential for life on Earth. From oceans to rivers to clouds in the sky, NASA satellites are observing where Earths water is found--and how that is changing over time. Groundwater is the water below the surface of the land. It seeps in between rocks and particles of dirt and sand. People dig deep holes called wells to get the groundwater for drinking and other uses. The groundwater seeps into the well and humans pump it or haul it up in buckets to the surface. Satellites Show Water Underground
- 7. Far out to sea, Drip the Waterdrop floated with his friends. Drip rolled over slowly in the sunlit ocean. The warmer he got, the harder it was for him to stay still. I feel jumpy, he said. Suddenly he was gone! Drips friends vanished too, they burst from the waters surface and disappeared. They had evaporated. Drip was now a misty, invisible vapour floating up to the sky. Winds carried Drip and his friends over the huge ocean towards the land. As he floated through the air, Drip gasped What a view! But we are so high up in the sky! Those birds way down there look like tiny dots. Soon the air got cooler and droplets crowded closer together. They gathered so close that they formed a thick cloud. Boy, its getting dark in here! whispered Drip, a bit afraid. The air got even cooler. I feel wet, Drip murmured. Kaboom! With a flash and a crash, lightning ripped through the clouds. The raindrops began falling. Ummpff groaned Drip as he splashed onto a rock and rolled onto the ground. The water drops joined together and sped along as part of a tiny stream. They played games as the stream flowed through the grasses and rocks. Ive got you!! Youre on! Drip shouted as he caught another drop. A short time later, Drips tiny stream joined another tiny stream to form a bigger one. This steam joined others until they all grew so big that they became one great, wide river. The force of the flowing water amazed Drip. He and his friend held fast to each other as they bounced off the rocks, whipped around the bends, and splashed all over the place. After a long while, the river began to slow down. Drip drifted along, silent for once. Until . Oomph! What was that? Drip cried as a floating object bumped into him. Looking about, he spied crushed cartons, bobbing cans and cups, and globs of tar all around him. How did I get into this disgusting mess? he wondered. As the river widened, more water flowed with Drip and his friends. More drops helped carry the filthy load downstream. Drip just missed being swallowed by an open bottle that was slowly sinking. In making his escape, he ran right into a large clump of water grass. Further along, more grass, reeds and other water plants spread out in a huge wetland. All the drops had to drift through it. When they got to the end of the wetland, they were much cleaner! Drip and his friends passed out of the wetland and into a large bay. Just as he looked to the horizon, he noticed a funny taste. It seemed familiar. Then he remembered and understood. Well! What do you know! Were back where westarted, Drip exclaimed as he and his friends rode the top of a big wave. So, where do you think the sun and the wind will send us next time? No one knew but wherever they were sent the next time round, it was sure to be a great adventure again!! a drop of water in an exciting adventure! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8xu1AwuJ5E story
- 8. Water Cycle Earth is truly unique in its abundance of water. Water is necessary to sustaining life on Earth, and helps tie together the Earth's lands, oceans, and atmosphere into an integrated system. Precipitation, evaporation, freezing and melting and condensation are all part of the hydrological cycle - a never-ending global process of water circulation from clouds to land, to the ocean, and back to the clouds. This cycling of water is intimately linked with energy exchanges among the atmosphere, ocean, and land that determine the Earth's climate and cause much of natural climate variability. The impacts of climate change and variability on the quality of human life occur primarily through changes in the water cycle. As stated in the National Research Council's report on Research Pathways for the Next Decade (NRC, 1999): "Water is at the heart of both the causes and effects of climate change."

- 11. Mixing Incredible Science The Science Behind This Experiment This science experiment is a great example of coloring mixing and capillary action. Capillary action is what makes the dye move up the paper towel. The water moves upward through the paper towel, lifting the food dye molecules with it. This same phenomenon is what allows trees to get water from the ground with their roots. Paper towels are made from fibers found in plants, called cellulose. Travelling Waters Experiment Color

- 15. 1. The class stands in a circle, facing each other. (You may like to stand in the centre of the circle to demonstrate your instructions). 2. They must imagine there is a big bowl of water right in front of them. 3. Everyone in the circle should stick their fingers into their imaginary bowls. 4. The learners must bring their fingers out of the water and flick and shake all the water off. Flick it up to the ceiling and down to the ground and to the left and to the right. 5. Next, learners put their hands into their imaginary bowl of water, up to the wrists. Again, as they bring them out, shake the water all over now their wrists are being shaken and their fingers are being shaken. 6. Then they need to put their arms into the imaginary water, up to the elbows and bring them out and shake elbows, wrists and fingers. 7. Keep going adding the shoulders then the left leg then the right leg until eventually the children jump into the imaginary bowl of water, covering their whole body with water and when they jump out, they shake their whole body! An invigorating way for the children to loosen up! Now that the children have done a couple of warm-up activities, read out the following instructions. If you need to demonstrate first, read the instruction and then demonstrate but try to encourage the children to be creative and let them know that they can make a contribution to the drama without being laughed at. 邸 Drink a glass of water 邸 Brush your teeth 邸 Wash your face 邸 Have a shower 邸 Wash a car or a bicycle 邸 Wash the dog!! 邸 Catch a fish in a net! 邸 You are walking on ice its slippery and you have to make sure you dont fall or bump into anyone else 邸 Put your skating boots on - remember to tie the laces tightly! 邸 Skate on ice. 邸 Swim across a river. 邸 Jump from one puddle to another puddle 邸 Do you remember the otter from the earlier lesson? Ask the children to swim like an otter would from side to side playing in the water, catching a crab or a fish. A PHYSICAL SHAKE-UP

- 18. The rules of the game are how ocean currents work in real life, too. Salt makes water heavier, so it sinks. Heat makes water lighter, so it rises. If you have tasted the ocean, you know it is very salty. Salty water is "thicker" or denser than fresh water. That is why it is easier to float in the ocean than in a fresh- water swimming pool or lake. Does that mean that fresh river water would float on top of salty ocean water? It all depends on the temperature. Heat makes water lighter, or less dense. So, warm salt water might float on colder fresh water. In the ocean, things get even more complicated. The ocean is salty, but some parts are saltier than others. For example, every summer, some of the sea ice in the Arctic Ocean (near the North Pole) melts. Then in winter, it freezes again. The salt doesn't freeze; only the water freezes. The salt from the ice mixes into the water below, making it even saltier. When the salt-free ice melts the next summer, the melted fresh water tends to make the nearby upper ocean less salty. But the melt water is also colder, which makes it sink. All this heating and cooling and melting and thawing creates big ocean currents. Cold water sinks near the North and South Poles. Cold water also flows toward the equator, getting warmer as it goes. As the cold water warms, it starts to rise to the top and sends the warmer surface water back toward the poles. As Earth gets warmer, less ice forms in the Arctic each winter and more ice melts in the summer. How Currents Work in the Ocean The Arctic OCEAN
- 19. What is a Water Creepy Crawly? A Water Creepy Crawly is an animal that is able to breathe and live in or on water. Some of them are beautiful, some are rather ugly, some of them are tiny, others are quite big and all of them have special things about them which make it possible for them to live, breathe, feed, grow and reproduce in or on water. Its time to see what creepy crawlies we have in our stream! WATER CREEPY CRAWLY

- 22. Let's Go Save Water! Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth. A running tap wastes up to 8 litres of water a minute! If a tap drips, fix it. Otherwise, you could waste up to 1 litre of water per hour, which is the equivalent of an entire bathtub in a week. Check your toilet for leaks. A leaking toilet can waste 200 litres of water per day the same as flushing it 50 times. Water your plants in the late evening or early morning, when less water is lost through evaporation. Use a thermos flask. When you boil water for a hot drink, boil only what you need, or pour the surplus into a thermos flask to keep the water hot for your next cup. Did You Know? Use water responsibly. Only 2.5% of water on the Earth is fresh water. Of this, over two-thirds is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps. Water efficiency is the smart use of our water resources through water-saving technologies and simple steps we can all take around. Using water efficiently will help ensure reliable water supplies today and for future generations. Best of all, everyone can play their part in preserving our nation's water resources. Reducing your hot water use saves energy and money! Install aerated taps and showerheads to cut down your water consumption.
