Sustainability Lesson Clearinghouse
Water, Everywhere!
Lesson Description:
Students will manipulate data to show the relationship between population growth and water availability and then follow up by answering questions. They'll also draw a bar graph showing the relationship between the two variables specifically in the U.S., another graph for a country facing water scarcity, and finally will research and write an action plan for tackling its water scarcity problems.
