Youth Pledge Item 3: Learn More About Water

Wayne takes the trophy

Learn More About Water​​ ​​To be a water​ steward, you need to learn more about water through reading, researching, and talking to your parents, teachers, and other trusted adults about water.

Tips

1: Read, research, and talk to trusted adults about water.

If you are not sure where to start, some important ideas to learn about water are: 

  • Why is water important? 
  • How do we use water?
  • What is the water cycle, and how does it work?
  • Where does our water come from? 
  • How do we protect our water? 
  • How do we save water for the future? ​
  • ...and more!

You can find books about water for free at your local Phoenix library branch. ​You can even sign up for the Phoenix Library's Summer Reading Program here. Learn more about how to earn the Summer Reading Program's Youth Save Water Pledge Badges soon!

2: When learning more about water, take notes to remember what you learn. 

When learnin​g something new, it can help to keep track of your ideas, questions, and unfamiliar words. 

​​While you read, research, or talk to a trusted adult, you can keep track of any important ideas, new words you learn, and questions you have. Ask a trusted adult about your questions and unknown words, or look them up later with parent permission. ​

​Come back soon for more ways to learn more about water throughout the year. ​​
