We had a lot of fun investigating the Earth's fresh water sources. We researched 5 different rivers or lakes and presented our findings to our classmates. The five fresh water sources were: The Rhine River, The Amazon River, The Niagara River, Lake Victoria, and Lake Taupo. All of these are located on different continents. After our research, we added these to our relief maps. Ask us about our learning and take a peek at us in action:
2-ESS2-2. Map the shapes and types of landforms and bodies of water in an area.
Clarification Statements:
• Examples of types of landforms can include hills, valleys, river banks, and dunes.
• Examples of water bodies can include streams, ponds, bays, and rivers.
• Quantitative scaling in models or contour mapping is not expected.
2-ESS2-3. Use examples obtained from informational sources to explain that water is found in the ocean,
rivers and streams, lakes and ponds, and may be solid or liquid.
2-ESS2-4(MA). Observe how blowing wind and flowing water can move Earth materials from one place.
Basics of Freshwater
I'll leave you with this joke:
What did the sea say to the river?
You can run but you can't tide!
