 * Lillian Green || **OBJECTIVE(S) –** Students will discover how much water they can save by reducing the amount of water used in the bath and talk about ways they can make their showers shorter. Students will also be introduced to the idea of using buckets to cart used bath water out to the garden. ||

When we were looking at saving water last lesson, we came up with some strategies to save water while cleaning our teeth, can anybody remember these? How many buckets of water can we save by doing this? Did anybody try this at home? || Whiteboard Markers Buckets Timers Water taps Calculator || toilet shower bath use the half flush have shorter showers use a timer have a radio and shower for the duration of one song share with siblings || What are some other places in the bathroom we can save water? How can we save water in the toilet? How might we save water in the shower? What about the bath? What if we dont put as much water in the bath? Let's go outside and see how much water we can put in a bath. ||  || Begin scooping water out of the tub with buckets (keep water in the buckets for re-use) Count the buckets of water, how many are there? (fill to approximately 1/3 using the buckets) || Now lets only a little bit of water in the tub How many buckets of water were saved when we didn't fill the bath to the top? Now what are we going to do with all of our left-over bath water? Rather than pulling the plug out, we can use the buckets to put our used bath water out in the garden. You can do this at home with mum or dad's help. You can even put buckets in the base of the shower to catch your shower water. ||  || Construct a sentence around the bath tub activity, something like: “We can save water by putting less water in when we fill the bath” Student's are then to construct a similar sentence begginning with “We can save water by...” Illustrate the sentence in literacy book. ||  ||
