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 as evidence for your answer).

A) The population (number of people) on East Ferris is decreasing (going down).

B) The population (number of people) on East Ferris is increasing (going up).

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

Introducing Synthesis

Today, we’ll put together knowledge we learned yesterday with a new text to answer our Investigation Question. We’re going to record big ideas, not small details - let’s practice identifying the difference between a big idea and a small detail quickly.

For the examples below, write Big Idea if the statement was a big idea about water on Earth and Small Detail if the statement was a small detail about water on Earth.

1

Statement: There is not a lot of freshwater on Earth that humans can use.

A) Big Idea

B) Small detail

1

Statement: A lake is an example of a body of water.

A) Big Idea

B) Small detail

1

Statement: Most of the water on Earth is salt water in the ocean.

A) Big Idea

B) Small detail

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?

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

1

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

A) The amount of freshwater increases (goes up, gets more).

B) The amount of freshwater decreases (goes down, gets less).

1

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

A) The amount of freshwater in reservoirs or lakes decreases (goes down, gets less).

B) The amount of freshwater in reservoirs or lakes increases (goes up, gets more).

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.

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

A) Joe

B) Kathy

Many places on Earth have water shortages.

People can affect the amount of freshwater that is available.

Places with a lot of rain never have water shortages.

The amount of water in lakes and rivers stays the same over time.

If a place does not have water shortage right now, that means it will never have a water shortage.
