Be the best version of you, every day! #TeamTREA

TITLE: Where are our water worlds?
Learning Intention: To accurately locate and name the main bodies of
water around the world.
DO NOW: What do you know about ‘our watery world’ already?
1. Names of places that are wet!!!
2. Differences between ponds? Lakes? Rivers? Streams? Sea? Oceans?
Anywhere else water can be stored?
3. Interesting facts that you know?
4. Issues affecting these places?
I can review what I already know about our watery world. I
can name several bodies of water around the world.

I can describe the difference between ponds, lakes, rivers,

seas and oceans. I can accurately locate on a world map
several lakes, rivers, seas and oceans around the world.

I can suggest what processes could change these places in

the future. I can consider questions to investigate.
