Earth’s Water: Weird, Wonderful Water introduces students to our watery world. They discover some of water’s unique qualities, such as surface tension, the ability to dissolve substances, and the ability to expand when freezing. Students learn how these and other qualities of water help make Earth suitable for life. Students also learn about the water cycle, tracing a molecule of water as it journeys from continent to continent through the cycle. Students discover that almost everything we do and use requires water. They also learn about how they can help conserve this precious resource. At the end of each two-page spread, a brief statement called The Bottom Line reinforces students’ understanding by summing up the key ideas about Earth’s water covered in those pages.
