In this lesson, students study the availability of fresh water on Earth and the methods that can be used to purify and conserve it. They also assess how much water they and their families typically use and think about ways to reduce water usage.

Designing a filter that turns black, salty, muck into drinkable water is a tall order. In this video segment adapted from ZOOM, cast members take cues from what they know about natural sediment filters—the kind that produce underground spring water—and use similar materials to create their own mini water filters.

This video demonstrates how ground pollution and upstream water pollution can be carried downstream to other bodies of water and land.
