Abstract

Year 5 and 6 students develop an understanding of water management on personal, school and community levels through auditing their use of water. They also gain knowledge about the impact of weather patterns on water conservation. Through science experiments students develop inquiry skills. The module also encompasses development of arguments/persuasive texts and information reports.
