- Padlet brainstorm: what is water used for? Students individually
brainstorm examples of how water is used. Teacher comments on
student answers as they are provided.
- Research: students use links provided to find out where their water
comes from and where water goes. Students complete questions 3 and
4 in inquiry document.

CONCLUSION
- Whiteboard mind map: students write important uses for water on the
board, and vote for the 5 most important ones (2 votes each). Teacher
selected students write the consequences of not having enough water
in relation to the water uses chosen.

each step, so all students are at the same point at the same time): worksheets
1) Share the total volume between 6 cups (baseline/control) for water
2) Share the total volume between 12 cups (population size) activity
3) Pour half the water in 1 container, then share the rest between
6 cups (agriculture)
4) Half the class steal water from another groups full jug to
share between 6 cups. The other half of the class waits to fill
the 6 cups after their water is stolen (increased water use,
water sharing imbalance, not sustainable)
5) Tip out some of the jugs water and share between 6 cups
(less rainfall)
6) Spill some water into the tray when sharing the water between
6 cups (wasting water)
7) Add dirt to the jug water and share between 6 cups (pollution)
8) Add food colouring to the jug and share between 6 cups
(contamination)
9) Share water between 6 cups, only transferring the water with
a spoon (physical access to water) - teacher makes a note
that at this stage in the activity, with dirty, contaminated,
barely accessible water, this is a similar situation for people in
the world right now
- Think, pair, share in the same groups as for the water activity: How
might your life change if your access to water was like that in step 9 of
the activity? (Expected answers: sick, unhealthy, dead, no time or
energy for anything else, have to find another water source, ask other
people for water, make getting water a family priority, unhappy,
disgusted)
- Video: Show students the following
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCHhwxvQqxg until 2:03
minutes
- Poll: Using a poll embedded on the class website (created with
http://www.strawpoll.me/), an anonymous yes or no question is asked,

Could this happen in developed countries like Australia? in response
to the previous video.
- Class discussion: Results of the poll discussed. Students asked to
volunteer their thoughts and defend their choice in an open discussion.
Students prompted to consider if the factors addressed in the water
activity were to leave fresh water supply and demand unbalanced,
might we experience a similar situation? What might happen if we use
up all our fresh water supplies? (Expected answers: hardship, illness,
have to look for alternative sources of water, we will need to wait for
the water cycle to provide more fresh water again. There is a
possibility students will argue that it is impossible, which leads to the
next activities)
- Online information: Students independently visit
http://water.org/water-crisis/ (link provided in inquiry document) and
answer questions 5 and 6 on the inquiry document.
- Online evidence: Teacher runs through a list of Australias drought
history as evidence of poor water supply using ABS website
(http://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/lookup/1301.0Feature
%20Article151988). Ask students: What do you notice about the
instances of drought recorded in Australia from 1860 to 1980?
(expected response: high frequency, drought every decade)
- Teacher goes through interactive map on the board of Australia's
rainfall variability (http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-02-26/100-years-
of-drought/5282030) asking students to call out whether there might
be flooding or a drought as the slider is moved along year by year.

CONCLUSION
- Students complete a short Socrative Quiz as a summary of learning.
Questions pertain to whether a particular factor is likely change fresh
water availability or use for a population, and are multiple choice or
short answer, including; an increase in rainfall will increase, decrease
or have no effect the amount of surface water available, list 4 factors
that might decrease fresh water availability, is Australias climate
constant, variable or the same as the rest of the world and why might
developed countries be facing shortages in fresh water?

- Prezi: teacher defines desalination, fit-for-purpose water and recycled
water.
- Students watch a video for a visual introduction to the human water
cycle (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwrYFJEJSQ0)
- Teacher discusses that undrinkable water may be recycled to be used
directly as a water source, or to replenish ground water aquifers
(managed aquifer recharge). Direct students to
http://www.water.wa.gov.au/urban-water/water-recycling-
efficiencies/managed-aquifer-recharge resource on the class website.
- Students play a game to learn about water management from a
community perspective
(http://www.sgwater.com.au/waterisland/index.html)
- Research activity: Students research water recycling and desalination,
to gather information to add to their Spider scribe mind map. Students
use links provided on class website. Students are to find out how these
processes work, the main stages of the processes, what water is used,
where the recycled/desalinated water is used and consider the benefits
of recycling/desalinating water. Students work in pairs determined by
the pop-stick method (names on pop-sticks, randomly chosen) and
may create a shared Google doc or Padlet to better facilitate the
sharing of information. Students are encouraged to first use links
provided on the class website. A screenshot of their mind map is to be

included into their inquiry document.

CONCLUSION
- Paragraph jigsaw challenge: students work in groups of 4 (chosen
randomly by the pop-stick method) to correctly order and match
sections of text (on pieces of paper, one set per person) relating to the
desalination and water recycling. Teacher written paragraphs are of the
desired answers to the research activity above. The first group to
correctly complete the activity takes turns to read out the paragraphs.

calculator)
- Interview: Students reform the group of 3 from the beginning of the
lesson to complete an interview activity. Students are labelled as A, B
and C by the teacher. For 2 minutes each, A interviews B while C
writes, B interviews A while C writes, than for 3 minutes, C speaks
uninterrupted. Teacher instruction: The focus of this activity is to share

6
how water wise your family is, how your household water practices
can be improved, how you can be more water wise personally, and
limitations you yourself will face with the water wise changes
proposed.
- Teacher instruction: reducing, reusing and recycling water are the
focus of sustainable water practices. Water recycling has particular
promise, and is largely underutilised especially as so much water
becomes waste water after human use.
- Students are shown a video about negative perceptions of water
recycling (https://youtu.be/lI_YlUDAv3c).
- Think, pair, share: Students are asked whether Jack Blacks reaction is
one you might expect of people asked to drink recycled water, and
whether perceptions such as this will hinder a growing use of recycled
water?
- Padlet brainstorm: why might people not want to undertake the water
saving practices you have found thus far? Teacher discusses common
answers after a couple minutes of class brainstorming. Students are
encouraged to elaborate on points raised. (Expected answers: time,
money, comfort, habit, don't want to change, don't care, don't know,
preferences)
Teacher discusses how sometimes water saving is mandatory (legal
obligations of water efficient products and the sprinkler ban). Students to
use the link (http://www.water.wa.gov.au/urban-water) provided on the
class website to answer the questions on the sprinkler ban in the inquiry
document. Students may work individually or in pairs of their choice:
- What is the sprinkler ban and what does it involve? (water
restrictions, cessation in winter and specified watering
days/times)
- Why is it in place?
- What is the penalty for not following sprinkler restrictions? What
can you do if you see someone ignoring the sprinkler restrictions?
- What are your households rostered days?

CONCLUSION
- 50 ideas in 5 minutes: in groups of 3 (in groups determined by
students rostered watering days) students aim to generate as many
ideas as possible of ways to save water on an A4 piece of paper.
- Raise of hands: students confirm whether it was easier to generate
more ideas once they had been exposed to more ideas (educated)
- Get students to start thinking about the next aspect of the inquiry.
Students can work individually or in groups (max 3) to plan how they

7
can communicate water sustainability with a particular aim (ie. water
saving, increase knowledge, change opinions on recycled water).
Students should think about who they want to work with, and start to
consider the audience, approach and format they might want to take.

audience (peers, family, school, politicians, public) and how they will
communicate their aim (tools used and form taken ie. Prezi for a
presentation). Communication forms are suggested: infographic
(Canva, Microsoft publisher), presentation (prezzi, Microsoft
powerpoint), document (Google doc, Canva), mind map (spiderscribe,
bubbl.us, coggle), website (weebly, edmodo, wordpress), radio play
(phones and audacity), and video (YouTube, phones and video editing
software).

BODY
- Planning: Students create a simple plan for how they will
communicate water saving, or an aspect of water sustainability
considering their intended audience, aim, format, creation tools and
information that will need to be communicated. Individually or in
groups of no more than 3(decided by the students), students create a
brief outline of a form of communication they could create to meet a
certain aim in regards to water sustainability (ie. alter education,
behaviour, opinion or attitude) using Google docs, Canva, microsoft
word or Spider scribe.
- Pitching ideas: in 30 seconds to 1 minute students briefly tell the class
their individual or group idea for communicating an aspect of water
sustainability, stating their intended audience, aim, format, creation
tools and information that will need to be communicated.
- Feedback: Using a teacher created Google form, students provide
feedback on their peers idea pitch, answering questions on how
interesting their idea sounds, constructive criticism (1 positive, 1
improvement) and reasons why their idea might not be effective.

CONCLUSION
- Teacher discusses that effective communication is important for
reaching a goal. Students are encouraged to consider planning
communication that is interesting, creative, realistic, appealing and
acknowledges or disproves their intended audience, aim, format,
creation tools and information that will need to be communicated.

Additional Notes:
Students will have prior knowledge of the water cycle and separating mixtures
Class website will be structured with a separate section for each lesson. Each lesson section will have the learning objectives listed, a summary of the main purpose and activities of
the lesson, as well as links to the resources used for each lesson.
After this inquiry program, students will have planned a means for increasing water saving/sustainability, or educating people on how and why to save water. From here they can
create a final product at home and in a future lesson, will have the opportunity to present it to the class, justify the decisions they made, reflect on their product and the design thinking
process undertaken (learning about a topic, addressing a problem/issue, generating ideas and attempting to combat the problem/issue, taking into account feedback and potential
hindrances to meeting an aim). This will be used as summative assessment, with higher weighting than the assessment of the planning stage.
Extension of strivers:
o During lesson 2, ask to explain how the factors investigated in the water activity may arise in Australia and explain to their group.
o During lesson 3, ask to learn more about managed aquifer recharge
o During lesson 4, provided with an additional (fun) resource (http://www.thewaterfamily.co.uk/index2_content.html)
o When planning aims and communication of water sustainability, students are encouraged to consider changing values or attitudes rather than behaviours and considering
more challenging audiences (ie. headmaster, politicians, change perceptions of recycled water)
o Opportunity to go further with research and pace themselves as desired
o Opportunity to work independently or take on a leadership role
Stragglers have to opportunity to complete any unfinished work at home, work with others, and ask for assistance throughout the lessons
