water in your head

Water in your head

Ca r e2F e edMa l t a

For this mission the class was divided in to sub-

groups and each group had to think what water means

to them, what it represents, and why it is important.

The following photo shows the students performing

the task. Each group then presented their thoughts to

the other groups,

thus concluding

that water is a

very important

resource.

Group 1:

This group thought

about the Maltese

Painted Frog and its

tadpoles . This is

endemic to Malta.

Group 2:

How can we grow crops

without any water?

Group 3 :

Water is needed by the unborn

foetus to keep it warm and to help it

move.

Groups 4, 5 and 6 all focussed on the idea that oceans are

a habitat for several organisms, mainly fish, birds and

mammals and reptiles.

Group 7:

This group thought

about the camels that

are so deprived of

water!

Group 8:

A member of this group

thinks that water lilies are

simply wonderful...how

will they survive without

water?

Group 9 :

Since we had finished discussing biodiversity as a topic, this group

thought about the crustaceans, mosses, fungi all of which depend

on moisture for their survival!

The groups focussed mainly on biodiversity….maybe because it was

the syllabus topic being discussed at that moment. However, in the

after discussion , other uses of water were also discussed, mainly the

importance of cleanliness at home, in hospitals and also as an

individual! Somebody also commented that the human body

consists of around 70% water!

We are sure there are several

other uses of water. An endless

list!! So the only valid conclusion

is: Save on water...our future

depends on it :)
