What
do you know about water?
What if there weren't any water
on earth?
There wouldn't be any trees...or
animals...or humans.
All living things need water to
live. Next to the air we breathe, water is our most
important need.
Without water, the earth would look
like the moon:
The Human body is 70% water.
Every system in our body uses water.
Water makes up to 83% of our blood.
Water transports body wastes.
Water lubricates body joints.
Water keeps body temperature stable.
Water is part of cells, which make up all living things.
Human beings can live several weeks without food,
but only a few days without water. Each day, we must
take in at least eight glasses of water. But drinking
water or other liquids provides only half the water
we need. The other half comes from the foods we eat.
List some foods that have water
in them *.
