WATCH THE VIDEO OF THE COMPLETE ACTIVITY

⚠️ This adapted Science activity was designed to explore the Distribution of Water on Earth and Its Importance to the Human Body through contextualized images, graph interpretation, and clear instructions.

Number of questions in the activity:

6 adapted questions + complete answer key, distributed across 3 activity pages.

The sequence begins by identifying water in different natural environments, progresses to understanding its distribution across the planet, and concludes by exploring the presence and functions of water in the human body.

Target audience:

Suitable for Middle School and High School, depending on the student's curricular adaptation needs.

It may be particularly helpful for students with:

  • Mild Intellectual Disabilities who need visual support, concrete examples, and well-organized information.

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) who may benefit from explicit instructions and structured tasks.

  • ADHD who experience difficulties with attention and organizing information.

  • Reading and interpretation difficulties who need clear instructions and different ways to demonstrate learning.

The material can also support Science, Geography, and Specialized Educational Support (AEE) teachers.

Format:

Ready-to-print PDF containing:

🔹 6 adapted questions and a complete answer key; 🔹 3 activity pages; 🔹 images of rivers, oceans, glaciers, and the human body; 🔹 bar chart showing the distribution of freshwater; 🔹 multiple-choice, classification, and matching activities; 🔹 clear instructions and answers selected by marking; 🔹 versions with standard lettering and UPPERCASE lettering; 🔹 black-and-white version; 🔹 BNCC-related skills.

⏱️ Save approximately 3 hours and 52 minutes of preparation time! The material is already adapted, illustrated, formatted, and accompanied by a complete answer key, reducing the time needed to develop questions, select images, and organize accessible educational resources.

Content covered:

  1. Water on Earth: Identifying the presence of water in rivers, oceans, and glaciers.

  2. Freshwater and saltwater: Classifying natural environments.

  3. Freshwater distribution: Interpreting a chart showing data on glaciers, groundwater, rivers, lakes, and soil moisture.

  4. Ocean water: Understanding that its high salt concentration makes it unsuitable for direct consumption.

  5. Water in the human body: Recognizing its presence in different parts of the body.

  6. Functions of water: Temperature regulation, waste elimination, and transportation of substances.

Important information for teachers:

The activity follows a progressive conceptual sequence, beginning with natural landscapes and gradually introducing knowledge about how the human body functions.

In questions 1 and 2, students observe images of rivers, oceans, and glaciers, recognize the presence of water in different environments, and classify them as freshwater or saltwater environments.

In the third question, students interpret a bar chart and identify that, among the water reservoirs presented, glaciers contain the largest share of freshwater (68.9%). The activity develops data interpretation and percentage comparison skills.

In the fourth question, students recognize that ocean water is unsuitable for direct consumption because of its high salt concentration.

In the fifth question, students observe illustrations of the human body and identify that water is present in different parts of the body.

In the sixth question, students match three functions of water to their explanations: regulating body temperature through sweat evaporation, helping eliminate waste through urine, and transporting substances through the blood.

The organization of the questions supports the development of observation, classification, graph interpretation, and matching scientific information, while reducing the need for lengthy written responses.

Key features:

✅ Integrated content: Connects water in the environment to its functions in the human body.

✅ Visual learning: Natural landscape images, a bar chart, and representations of the human body.

✅ Progressive conceptual sequence: From concrete knowledge to biological processes.

✅ Varied activities: Multiple choice, classification, and matching.

✅ Clear instructions: Reduced reading and writing demands.

✅ Accessibility: Available in UPPERCASE and black-and-white versions, with a complete answer key.
