Smart water use

This stage of the Smart Water inquiry cycle is using new knowledge and understandings to make a difference and save water.

Taking action enables students to participate and contribute with science in an authentic context. Communicating information is an effective means to engage with the community and to potentially get others involved with ongoing or future action. It also provides cross-curricular opportunities in speaking, writing and presenting.
