Standard: Show Content Tip
3d Students know that the amount of fresh water located in rivers, lakes, under-ground sources, and glaciers is limited and that its availability can be extended by recycling and decreasing the use of water.
Holistic Rating: Moderate coverage of this standard.
| "Water" Science Stories pages 1 and 17-21 provide moderate coverage of this standard. "Water" Investigation 4 pages 10-13 tangentially address the standard (capacity of soil to hold water). |
Aspects that help student learning:
Student reports provide an engaging way to present ideas.
Aspects that do not help student learning:
Text provides no details with respect to human recycling of water to increase local supplies. Text does not provide a perspective in comparing the amounts of water used in different ways (e.g., agriculture compared with domestic compared with industry). For information, see the CONTENT TIP for this standard.
Teacher's Edition that we used cited these pages as addressing this standard, but we did not find a significant correlation:
"Water" Science Stories pages 22-23.
