Lesson summary
Students work in small groups to identify as many water related issues as they can think of in 60 seconds. The small groups then collate their ideas to create a class list and add any additional issues they can recall. Students keep the class list to review at the close of the unit of work.
Learning intentions:
Students will...
- develop their knowledge around water issues.
- relate water issues to the sustainable management of a renewable resource.
