• Research where the Coachella Valley gets its water for three different uses: drinking, farms and golf courses.  
• Time your showers every day for one week and keep a log of each shower’s length. See if you can take a shower in 5 minutes or less.
• Research and describe an aquifer. Why are aquifers important?
• Complete a simple water science experiment and describe how it works. Take pictures of the result and explain why you chose this experiment.
• Conduct research and in 2-3 paragraphs describe the following:
• How climate change has impacted Southern California’s water resources.
• Why conservation is important in protecting these water resources.
• What is recycled water and how does this help us conserve water?
