What do you notice about Ferris Island? Write 2 observations.

Sentence starters:
  • On Ferris Island, I see that ___________
  • There is _______________ on Ferris Island

In this unit we are working as water resource engineers. Engineers must learn about a problem first, and then they can design solutions.

Now let’s figure out how we can help East Ferris as water resource engineers!

Where is water on earth?

1

Where is most of Earth’s water located, the ocean (saltwater) or other locations (freshwater)?

1

Is there a lot of freshwater on Earth?

1

Where is most of Earth’s freshwater located?

1

Where is the least of Earth’s freshwater located?

What is a Glacier?

What is a Glacier (Animation)?

1

What phase (state) of matter is most of the water in glaciers?

1

Can we use most of the water in glaciers for drinking?

Some people get confused and think groundwater is a giant underground lake. Based on this diagram, is this true? Is groundwater a giant underground lake?

1

Where is most of Earth’s surface freshwater located?

1

Where is least of Earth’s surface freshwater located?

  1. groundwater
  2. rivers
  3. oceans

REVIEW TES 1.1

1

Which graph best shows the percentage of freshwater compared to the percentage of freshwater that can be found on Earth - Graph A or Graph B?

1

For the freshwater that is on Earth, where is it found? Select all that apply

How do you use water in your daily life? (HINT: Think about your day from when you wake up to when you go to bed. How will you use water?)

Remember, East Ferris is on an island, so it is surrounded by salt water in the ocean. The people on Ferris Island need to use freshwater and not salt water for their daily activities, just as you do. So, we need to figure out why they are running out of freshwater.
1

What do you notice about the population (number of people) on East Ferris? (Use the graph above to evidence for your answer).

0

What do you think the population (number of people) size has to do with the water shortage (not enough water)?

Sentence starter: If there is more people on East Ferris, than __________________

Synthesizing Ideas About Water Shortages


We’re going to work on putting together big ideas from TWO sources to come up with a new and better answer to a question.

Question: How can people affect how much freshwater is available?

Text: Water Shortages, Water Solutions

Read pages 4 to 7 of the text. You can play the audio recording to listen to the book.
0

What are 3 causes water shortages (not having enough water)?

Sentence starter: ___________, _____________, and _____________ are causes water shortages.

1

When people use water, what happens to the amount of freshwater available?

1

When people use water, what happens to the amount of freshwater in reservoirs or lakes?

New Understanding:

People affect how much freshwater is available when they use water. There is not very much freshwater on Earth, and if people use too much or pollute it, there is even less clean freshwater available.

How could you conserve (save) more water in your everyday life?

TES 1.2 Review


Joe lives by the Atlantic Ocean. Kathy lives by Lake Okeechobee.
1

Who lives next to a freshwater resource - Joe or Kathy?

1

Joe texts Kathy a picture of the Atlantic Ocean and tells her that his city can get more drinking water because he lives by the ocean and the ocean has more water.
