Water Investigations

To finish our Term 2 Integrated Studies topic 'Water' we completed some water investigations, to celebrate what we had learnt during the term. The students had a lot of fun and were able to express their new knowledge of water saving creatively, through various ways.

The students were given many choices of how to present their knowledge including, dioramas, posters, plays, commercials, songs, poems, word searches, written activities or power-point presentations on the computer.

The finish products all looked fantastic and demonstrated that the students now have a deeper understanding of why we need to save water and how we can save water. It was wonderful to see how proud the students were of their creations and to hear them verbalising their thoughts, ideas and knowledge behind their creations.














Wash your vegetables in a bowl of water, rather than the running tap and water your garden in the morning or night- not in the middle of the day.













Use a water tank or buckets to collect rain water to water your garden.













Use water tanks to collect rain water. Use this
water to wash your car.

















A bright and colourful poster, asking people to reuse water
from the washing machine to water their garden.












These girls acted out a fantastic play. Their message was to show people to use buckets to wash the car instead of using the hose.
