Day 5-Water

Why is water important?
Where does water go when you flush it down the toilet?
What can you do to conserve water?

We end the week with a very important topic-water! How much clean water do we have on earth to share with humans, animals, agriculture...? How do plants use water? How is water transported to our homes and how much is wasted by leaky pipes? Fun activities touch on these questions and much more....
