Saving water is a concept that many misunderstand or are even uninformed about its importance. The book "Saving Water" is a cute story/ information text written by Neil Morris. This book is a non-fiction book based on facts about the importance of where water comes from, all the uses of water, dirty water, and most importantly collecting and recycling water. In the end of this book there is even a section of notes for parents and teachers. There are many sections of this book with captions of "DID YOU KNOW?" these sections are filled with creative ways of introducing concepts with fun facts about water, such as "Did you know...2/3 of our body is made of water." or "It is impossible to think of a drink without water!" There are even captions that contain fun experiments such as, "You can do it...you can see how much rain falls by leaving an empty pot, such as a glass jar, outside." These fun experiments would even be fun activities to do in the classroom setting on a rainy day.
Saving water is a wonderful science concept to introduce to children. Not only the fun facts but lessons that can be brought about by this book are unlimited. This book is filled with content and information that children of all ages could understand and find interesting. Some lessons for example would be the life cycle of water or even the importance of recycling and conserving water. I would defiantly recommend this book to be added to a classroom library for any age group. Hope you enjoy!
This sounds like a great book to have in the classroom. The experiments would be good hands on activities for the students. I would add this book to my classroom because of the fun facts and activities that can be done with it. Thank you!
