1 T E A C H E R S N O T E S Focus: Students explore the importance of air and water to living things. They will also learn why living things need air and water, how we use wind, the water cycle, the three states of water, and why it is important to keep our water and air clean. Learning Goals: Students will have opportunities to learn how to correctly use the terms absorb, carbon dioxide, oxygen, electricity, energy, environment, wind, crop, fresh, salty, surface, evaporate, cloud, precipitation, weather, water cycle, chemical, pollute, well why living things need air and water how we use wind in our lives where water is found and how we use it how the water cycle works that there are three states of water how polluted air and water is a danger to living things how humans can work together to keep air and water clean Discussion Prompts: Why are air and water so important for life? How is wind created and how do we use it? What are the different sources of water? How are they different? How does water circulate on earth? What are the three different states of water? How do they change in different weather? How do humans cause water and air pollution? How can humans keep water and air clean? Assessment Prompts: Do students demonstrate, in their discussions and answers to questions, understanding of the science vocabulary used in the cards for this unit? Are students able to carry out the skills of scientific inquiry, following activity procedure steps safely and accurately, making observations when appropriate? Assess students responses during discussions. - Do students understand that clean water and air are essential for life? - Do they understand how wind is moving air? - Do they understand where water comes from and that it is found in several forms (for example, ice, frost, dew, rain, fresh, salty) - Can students explain why it is important to keep our air and water clean? - Can students suggest ways to reduce air and water pollution?
