Assign ecologists one of five countries that struggle with access to clean water. They research the water crisis in that country and then present information to classmates. A handout was designed for each country, and a worksheet on which individuals can collect information during the class presentations. Though this lesson only involves research and sharing, it is a topic of tremendous importance for your environmental science curriculum.
