LESSON 1: Water Distribution on Earth

LESSON PACING LEARNING INTENTIONS & SUCCESS CRITERIA ADDITIONAL MATERIALS PG

Engage: Where is water located in this image? Big Idea: How doeswater collect in ecosystems

Learning Intention: I am learning where water is located so that I can use mathematics to graph the amounts of usable fresh water on Earth. Success Criteria: I’ll know I understand when I can analyze data, and carry out an investigation in order to confrm the total amount of freshwater on Earth’s surface. Learning Intention: I am learning how much of Earth’s surface water is available to living things so that I can use mathematics to measure, estimate, graph, and fnd percentages of water distribution on Earth. Success Criteria: I’ll know I understand when I can support my claim with evidence from the Inquiry Activity: Usable Water. Learning Intention: I am learning to analyze data so that I can measure, estimate, graph, and fnd percentages of water distribution on Earth. Success Criteria: I’ll know I understand when I can make a graph
