After a whole-class discussion of water reservoirs, ten liters of water are given to each lab group to represent Earth's total amount of water. They divide the water into smaller containers, each representing one of those reservoirs. The goal is to estimate the percentage of Earth's total water that is contained in each. The lesson plan is complete with a worksheet and wrap-up discussion questions.
