Fourth Grade
California and the Race for Liquid Gold
Follow this lesson to learn about the history of water use in California. Water is our most precious resource, everybody and everything needs it, but nature doesn't distribute it evenly throughout the state; so, what did people do about it? Through watching a presentation, and interacting with a Project WET activity, students will be able to answer that question and fill out a worksheet to show what they have learned!
To complete the Zone 7 lesson be sure to do all of the following:
Fill out the grade 4 worksheet. You can fill it out right on this web page. Work on it while you watch the presentation (step 2) and while you do the Project WET activity (step 4). When you have answered all the questions press submit. The results of your quiz will be turned in to your teacher by a teacher from Zone 7 Water Agency.
