1. Essential Question: Where is the Earth’s water located?
Standard:
S6E3a. Explain that a large portion of the Earth’s surface is water, consisting of oceans, rivers, lakes, underground water, and ice.
Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should introduce the lesson essential question and the standard that aligns to the essential question.

2. Please READ each slide (some slides are just facts others have the ANSWER) use these slides for information to fill in your organizer!
Instructional Approach(s): Select one of the activating strategies linked on the resource page

3. "Water, Water, Everywhere
"Water, Water, Everywhere...." You've heard the phrase, and for water, it really is true.
Earth's water is (almost) everywhere: above the Earth in the air and clouds, on the Earth as rivers, oceans, ice, inside the Earth in the top few miles of the ground. Water is even in living things.
Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should present the information on the slide.

4. Use the Organizer to record your findings!
Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should give each student a copy of the Location of Water on Earth Notes [linked on the resource page] to record important information during the lesson.

5. Types of Water on Earth:
Saltwater
Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should present the information on the slide while the students record the important information on their notes.

6. Types of Water on Earth: Glaciers & Ice Caps
Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should present the information on the slide while the students record the important information on their notes.

7. Types of Water on Earth:
Freshwater
River
Lake
Stream
Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should present the information on the slide while the students record the important information on their notes.

8. Types of Water on Earth:
Groundwater
Groundwater occurs as a liquid resource that is dispersed through numerous holes, pores, fractures and cavities in bodies of rock or sediment
Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should present the information on the slide while the students record the important information on their notes.

9. The blue spheres represent the relative amounts of Earth's water in comparison to the size of the Earth.
Are you surprised that these water spheres look so small? They are only small in relation to the size of the Earth.
Overall, it shows that in comparison to the volume of the globe the amount of water on the planet is very small.
Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should present the information on the slide.

10. The largest sphere represents all of Earth's water.
The sphere includes all the water in the oceans, ice caps, lakes, and rivers, as well as groundwater, atmospheric water, and even the water in you, your dog, and your tomato plant.
Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should present the information on the slide.

11. How much of the total water is fresh water, which people and many other life forms need to survive?
The blue sphere over Kentucky represents the world's liquid fresh water (groundwater, lakes, swamp water, and rivers).
Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should present the information on the slide.

12. Do you see the "tiny" bubble over Atlanta, Georgia?
That one represents fresh water in all the lakes and rivers on the planet.
Most of the water people and life on earth need every day comes from these surface-water sources.
Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should present the information on the slide.

13. Water on the Earth
About 71% of the earth’s surface is covered with water.
Of the total volume of water on Earth:
97% is saltwater
In general, most of the earth’s water is located in the oceans as saltwater . So where does it come from?
Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should present the information on the slide while the students record the important information on their notes.

14. But, where did all this salt come from?
By some estimates, if the salt in the ocean could be removed and spread evenly over the Earth's land surface it would form a layer more than 500 feet (166 meters) thick, about the height of a 40-story office building (NOAA).
But, where did all this salt come from?
Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should present the information on the slide.

15. From precipitation to the land to the rivers to the sea…
The rain that falls on the land contains some dissolved carbon dioxide from the surrounding air. This causes the rainwater to be slightly acidic. The rain physically breaks down the rock and the acids chemically break down the rocks. Rain then carries the dissolved salts and minerals along as it flows. The salts in the runoff are carried to the streams and rivers and then to the ocean. Many of the dissolved salts are used by organisms in the ocean and are removed from the water. Others are not used up and are left for long periods of time where their concentrations increase over time.
Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should present the information on the slide while the students record the important information on their notes.

16. Salt from below…
Hydrothermal vents are recently-discovered features on the ocean seafloor that contribute dissolved minerals to the oceans. These vents are the “exit points” on the ocean floor from which sea water that has seeped into the rocks of the oceanic crust has become hotter, has dissolved some of the minerals from the crust, and then flows back into the ocean.
Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should present the information on the slide while the students record the important information on their notes.

17. Eruption of Volcanoes Underwater…
Similar to the previous process, during an underwater volcano eruption, seawater reacts with hot rock and some minerals are dissolved into the sea water.
Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should present the information on the slide while the students record the important information on their notes.

18. Chemical Composition of Ocean Water
Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should present the information on the slide while the students record the information on their notes.

19. Water on the Earth 2% is freshwater frozen in ice caps and glaciers
1% is fresh water in lakes and streams, groundwater, and water vapor in the atmosphere
In general, most of the earth’s water is located in the oceans as saltwater . Most of the freshwater on Earth is located in glaciers and ice caps. Lesser amounts are found in atmospheric moisture, rivers, lakes, streams, and groundwater.
Most of the freshwater on Earth is located in glaciers and ice caps.
Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should present the information on the slide while the students record the important information on their notes.

20. Read ONLY
Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should use the graph on the slide to illustrate the amount and types of water on the earth.

21. Read ONLY
Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should use the graph on the slide to illustrate the amount and types of water on the earth.

22. Read ONLY
Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should use the graph on the slide to illustrate the amount and types of water on the earth.

23. Question #8
Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should present the information on the slide while the students record the important information on their notes.

25. #9 Help

26. Label the following images as representations of which of the following: Glaciers/Icecaps, Groundwater, Lakes/Rivers, Saltwater on Earth
Instructional Approach(s): The students should label the images on their notes as representations of the amounts/types of water on the earth’s surface. The teacher should walk around monitoring and redirecting students as needed. Do not give more than 1 minute for students to label the representations. The teacher should ask students to compare their responses with another student. Go over the answers with the class.

27. Water on the Earth
Water is not evenly distributed, and most of it is unsuitable for drinking.
We use less than 1% of the water on Earth for drinking and personal hygiene. We also use this fresh water for agriculture, fisheries, transportation, heating and cooling, manufacturing, and many other purposes.
Unless we use our freshwater supply wisely, rivers, lakes and groundwater can be depleted or polluted, becoming unusable or unsuitable for life.
Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should present the information on the slide while the students record the important information on their notes.
