Thinking and writing about water...a substance that we take for granted in areas where we have access to clean drinking water and sanitation. For millions around the world, this is not the case. We explore ways that students can explore this problem.

1. Water, Water Everywhere…Thinking
and Writing about Probability

3. Are You Ready for the Challenge?
WARM UP or COOL DOWN

4. Rules:
• Draw a line on your bottle where you think the ideal
amount of water should be.
• Determine how much water to put into it in ml.
Option 2: Drink water to level to try your flips. Place
rubber band on bottle to show different ml.
• When you know how much water you need/ have,
record it on your chart….put exactly that much water
in there.
• You must use your bottle for the contest.

5. Hold the bottle from its neck-and-cap area.
Apply force and give it a little flick with the
bottom of the bottle out and rotating away
from you. Give it enough arc so that as the
rotation is being completed,
the water slushes back to the bottom,
allowing the bottle to fall straight down.
That's how you bottle flip.

7. ABSTRACT:
Engage your students in real world problem-solving
using probability and data collection as it relates to
water. Water is the life-sustaining substance that is
critical to all life, and unfortunately, it is being depleted,
polluted, and misused. We will discuss ways that
students can use local, national, and international
resources to collect and crunch data, predict outcomes,
and look at the probability of a future where clean water
doesn’t exist. Also, water stewardship will be explored.
This can be a great problem-based learning project with
math at its soul.

8. ABSTRACT:
Writing….Research/ Charts/ Data/ Statistics/ Probability
• Probability of waterequity.org being able to assist at least
30% of the world’s population that has substandard
drinking water and sanitation
• Probability of the mortality rate for children under age 5
dying due to diarrhea decreasing because of clean
drinking water and better sanitation

13. FACT:
75% of the Earth is water.
Fact:
97% of the water is ocean.
Fact:
2.5% is fresh water
Fact:
Of the 2.5.% of fresh water, 70% of that water is ice.
Fact:
Of the 2.5% of fresh water, 30% of that water is ground water.
Fact:
Of that 30% of ground water, 29% is polluted.
Fact:
Of the remaining 1%, 70% is used for irrigation and 22% is used in
industry.
Fact:
Approximately, 0.08% for domestic use.

15. Today we have gathered and we see that the cycles of life
continue. We have been given the duty to live in balance
and harmony with each other and all living things. So now,
we bring our minds together as one as we give greetings
and thanks to each other as People. Now our minds are
one.

16. “If we are truly going to impact our global
community, then our mission as educators,
environmentalists, and life-long learners is to
equip future generations with those strategies
and skills necessary to solve the problems that
the past generations have created and prevent
these and other problems from occurring.”

17. Clean Water
• Drinking
• Sanitation

18. Capital: New Delhi
Population of 1.2 billion
77 million lack access to safe water
769 million lack access to improved
sanitation
59% of the total population lives on less
than US$2 per day

23. 1. Create a chart based on the data
contained in this report (Death
and Disease).
2. Write a paragraph based on the
probability that a child under the
age of 5 will die due to diarrhea.
