Water - The Liquid Thread That Holds Us Together

Help me give my students culturally relevant water literacy for Science Day 7.0!

My Project

Water - The Liquid Thread That Holds Us Together is the theme for our Science Day 7.0. Water literature serves as the foundation of the entire event. Inspired by multicultural perspectives on water, students not only learn the science of water, but also how to take action to conserve, protect, and cherish one of our most precious natural resources. Through participation in hands-on activities, team-building, maker challenges, and fundraising for water projects in Africa and the US, students will take a deep dive into how we can be socially responsible with this resource.
