Water in Our Lives

Water in Our Lives is an innovative, hands-on science investigation that fourth-grade Shoreline School District students can conduct, both indoors and outdoors, within walking distance of their classroom to experience firsthand the concepts learned in their classroom science work.

Five lessons walk students through vital questions and concepts including where our water comes from, where it goes, how much water their school uses, and how water behaves outdoors as rain falls on different surfaces. Elementary school children get the opportunity to conduct science activities in the real world (as opposed to a lab or classroom), as they measure percolation rates on varying natural ground covers and measure the amount of water used by their school.

Most importantly, Water in Our Lives provides Shoreline’s future citizens with a deep understanding of our most precious natural resource and the vital roles it plays in our lives.
