Introduction (5 minutes): 1. Gather the students in a circle and begin by asking them if they know what water reservations are. 2. Show them pictures or illustrations of water reservations and briefly explain that water reservations are areas where water is stored and saved for future use. 3. Ask the students why they think water reservations are important.
Discussion (10 minutes): 1. Engage the students in a discussion about the importance of water reservations. 2. Ask questions such as: - Why is it important to save water? - What are some ways we can save water? - How can water reservations help us in the future? 3. Encourage the students to share their thoughts and ideas.
Activity: Water Reservation Poster (15 minutes): 1. Divide the students into small groups. 2. Provide each group with a large poster board or chart paper and markers or crayons. 3. Instruct the students to create a poster that shows the importance of water reservations and ways to conserve water. 4. Encourage them to use their creativity and include drawings or written messages. 5. After they finish, have each group present their poster to the class and explain their ideas.
Hands-on Activity: Water Conservation Experiment (15 minutes): 1. Distribute small cups or containers to each student. 2. Fill one cup with water and instruct the students to pour the water into their cups. 3. Explain that the water in their cups represents the water in a water reservation. 4. Ask the students to think of ways they can conserve the water in their cups. 5. Give them a few minutes to brainstorm and then ask for their ideas. 6. Encourage them to come up with simple actions like turning off the faucet while brushing their teeth or taking shorter showers. 7. Have the students pour a small amount of water back into the original cup to represent their conservation efforts. 8. Discuss how their actions helped save water and how these small actions can make a big difference.

Thank the students for their participation and encourage them to share their knowledge with their families and friends.
Optional Extension Activities: 1. Read a book or watch a video about water conservation. 2. Visit a local water reservation or water treatment facility (if possible). 3. Create a classroom water conservation chart to track the students’ efforts in saving water.
