Experiment: How Much Water Do I Use?

Yesterday we learned that we use a lot of water for drinking, cooking, and cleaning. We took a close look at just HOW much water is used for different activities. This weekend, I want you to choose one day to conduct an experiment. Find out how often you use water throughout the day. Use this chart as a guide:

Make your own chart. Print the activities down one side of your paper. Leave a large box beside each activity so you can tally count every time you use water for that activity. Pick a day. Start from the moment you wake up until you are getting back into bed for bedtime. 

What activity do you use water for the most? How often in a day are you using water? What could you do during these activities to help save water?
