They will observe Earth and climate change using Cyclone Centre. They will navigate into the internet to make students aware of the importance of water for the development of civilization from antiquity to the present day. To understand the importance of water management and the risks of water scarcity for all beings. To learn that natural resources are not inexhaustible. Watch an awareness video.

    Use Powtoon and create a video ”8 Ways to save water”. Make a booklet about the rational water management. Create a Business Model concerning the rational water management p.e. household biological cleaning using Lean Canvas https://canvanizer.com/new/lean-canvas. Can you imagine the future of our fragile planet with polluted water? Make a poster with the photos. Collaborate and make a presentation on your research findings and present it to your school. Upload it to the school web page. Evaluation In the end my students evaluate the project and their participation in it for feedback. We discuss what they have learned and how will they use this knowledge in the future. They review their classmates and their classmates review them. One group evaluates the other. I have created three samples of evaluation: Collaborative Work Skills Using Rubrics http://rubistar.4teachers.org/index.php?screen=ShowRubric&rubric_id=2633390& , Assessing my PBL "Water, Source of Life" and Self-evaluation using Google forms.
