Water

Most of us – and perhaps especially young people – take water for granted. Water comes out of taps, it goes down drains; in between we use it to brush our teeth or do the dishes. But with a little imagination, water can become a fascinating topic for pupils. This section will help you give pupils an introduction to what water really means to people and to the planet – as well as a chance to discover the true cost of water use at school and at home.
