About this STEM integrated learning scenario
This learning scenario aims to raise awareness among students about the water scarcity problem in the world. After watching videos and/or reading articles about it, they will debate about what they had learned from those videos/articles. The teacher will ask students to identify problems related to the misuse of water by society and particularly in their school. They will also build a survey to implement at school. The data collected will be organized into graphics to be displayed in the school’s lobby. Students will be asked to build a water filtration device. Finally, they will also build a musical instrument using water, after discovering the ideal proportion of water to produce different sounds. This LS can be implemented in an online environment like Google Classroom.
