Sharing+the+Planet

** Sharing the planet ** An inquiry into rights and responsibilities in the struggle to share finite resources with other people and with other living things; communities and the relationships within and between them; access to equal opportunities; peace and conflict resolution. 

**Central idea** Our planet has limited fresh water resources that are unevenly distributed.

**Lines of Inquiry** · where water comes from · how we use water · our responsibility in recycling and water conservation

DISCUSSION: What are you going to do to decrease water use? What can we do to help reduce the amount of water used in our community? State? Country? Or on global level?

**Webquests:** [|What's Up with the Weather?]
