The Exploration and Experiment Experiment
As a class we will be doing an experiment with how much water is wasted while we brush our teeth For this experiment one boy and one girl from the class will brush their teeth We will take a bucket to the faucet and show the class how much water is wasted if the faucet is left on while you brush your teeth and measure it in gallons We will then talk about the solutions of using a cup or turning off the water while we brush our teeth and calculate how much water we would save What are other ways you can help conserve water Break up into small groups and fill out the graphic organizer with ideas and ways you can save water daily
