Water Wings

All the water on Earth is connected in some way. Clouds drop water on the land in the form of rain, rainwater filters through the ground to rivers, and rivers ultimately flow to the ocean. And just like all water on Earth is connected, all life on Earth is connected in the same basic need for water. Plants, animals and people all rely upon Earth’s water resources to survive. Without water, there would be no life. Use Project WILD Aquatic’s “Water Wings” to explore the interconnectedness of all the Earth’s waters, learn about the water cycle and discover why water is so important to life on Earth. Then stretch your creative muscles and write a poem about water!
