WATER USAGE MINI-PROJECT

JOURNAL #3 WATER AS A RENEWABLE RESOURCE 1.What are some of the reasons water is important in the environment? 2.What properties of water are important in the environment? 3.If water is renewable, does that mean that we can use it any way we want to and as much as we want to? Why?

AS A GROUP… 1.What is the source of your drinking water? 2.Are there any water quality or water quantity issues about your water source? 3.What will affect your water source in the future? 4.Who makes decisions that affect your water source?

TRACK YOUR WATER USAGE FOR 2 DAYS Investigate your own use of water and devise ways to cut usage to conserve our water supply Identify the constants and the dependent and independent variables in the water conservation experiment. Make changes in the amount of water you use and record and graph results.
