//Science: // · //Children observe the water evaporating from a glass jar and the residue left behind. // · //Children observe water boiling. // · //Children work with ice – freezing in different shapes and melting it. // · //Children paint on a blackboard with wet brushes, sponges and rags. Children make wet footprints on a dry footpath. //  //English: // · //Read different picture books regarding rain or water.

 * These are extra ideas for teachers to intergrate the topic of water into other areas of the curriculum:**
 * **The Arts:** paint pictures, view or present performances or sing songs that convey the water conservation message
 * **English:** read articles or debate water related issues in your local area, or write stories about the role that water plays in your life
 * **Health & Physical Education:** discuss how water quality and quantity can impact the health of the individual and community relations; investigate the functions of the local water authority
 * **Languages Other Than English:** investigate the role that water plays in various cultures
 * **Mathematics:** apply mathematical inquiry and techniques to measure rainfall in your local area, carry out a water audit at your school, or understand the amount of water used in your local region; get students to monitor water use at home - read the meter daily, determine how much water is used per person in the household and set percentages for improvement - most improved could win a prize at the end of a month / term / year
 * **Science:** study the water cycle, test water quality in your local area, understand the importance of water for life and how plants and animals adapt to different water conditions.
 * **Studies of Society and Environment**: investigate the land use within the local region, the impacts these have on water conditions and usage, and how these have changed over time
 * **Technology**: investigate the development of water supply and water treatment in your local area, and how these technologies consider the environment and society in order to support economic growth.
