Thirstin's Wacky Water Adventure

Follow Thirstin on adventures as students teaches students about protecting drinking water and conserving drinking water. First we'll take a visit to a Treatment Plant and learn how the water is cleaned and then sent on to our homes as drinking water. You will also learn the three forms that water comes in. Have fun going through my activities with me! Print out the activity book and work on the activities.
