Teacher Notes (not visible to students)
This activity helps students understand the distribution of freshwater on Earth and the difference between surface water and groundwater. Use the graphs to guide students in interpreting data visually. Encourage students to think critically about why water usage might differ from the amount of water available. The True or False questions assess comprehension of key concepts. The activity aligns with NGSS standard 5-ESS2-2, focusing on data interpretation and understanding Earth's water distribution.
