All About Water pack

The All About Water pack has been produced to link up with the National Curriculum, and is suitable for children aged between 8 and 14. This pack provides information and activities about the water cycle, water conservation and water treatment. You can also make a promise of how you can save water. Use the poster to keep a record of your promise and others at home or in your class. Record every day if the people listed have kept their promise. If you can all keep your promises you will all become water savers and help the environment.
