Water on Earth
Grade 1 · Science · Earth Materials · Alabama, USA
Lesson Summary
Discover where water is found on our planet.
Explanation
Water covers most of the Earth's surface. It is found in oceans, rivers, lakes, ponds, and streams. Oceans hold the most water, but that water is salty. The water we drink comes from freshwater sources like rivers, lakes, and underground. Water is also found in the sky as clouds and falls down as rain or snow. All living things need water to survive, so water is one of Earth's most important resources.
