The children compared clean and dirty water. They voted to see which they would prefer to drink. The majority of children decided the clean water would be best. The children could not believe that some people have to drink dirty water.
Sam said, “I would not want to drink that dirty water. It looks disgusting! It will make you poorly.”
The children watched a video. They discovered that not everyone has access to clean running water like we do. They saw people walking a long way, carrying their water in buckets.
To try and understand how that would make them feel, they went on to the playground and carried water in buckets to fill the water tray.
Bess said, “I am tired now.”
Lilee added, “My arms are aching!”
Jacob said, “I would not want to have to do this every day!”
