Welcome to our Water Systems Unit Wiki!


 * Water is one of the essential ingredients of life on this planet. It is essential that we understand what it means to us and how we can use it in a sustainable way.**

During this unit you will be working in groups of two or three to research and write our class **//"e-textbook"//**. To the left you will find seven "chapters" which will each be assigned to a different group. You will research and prepare the chapter assigned to your group and share what you have learned with the rest of your classmates through an in-class presentation.

You will receive a grade on three components:


 * __**Research and Writing**__ - you will be responsible for research and writing a chapter of the class "e-text" for this unit. You will be assessed on the completeness and quality of your research as well as your diligence and work ethic.


 * __**Presentation**__ - each group will give an in class presentation where they will highlight the main elements of their chapter and the important points their classmates need to know.


 * __**Unit Test**__ - each group will submit several questions based on the content of their chapter. From these questions a unit test will drawn up. The test will be open "e-text", meaning you can use the e-text you and your classmates have developed as an open resource to write the test.
