Water, Water Everywhere…Thinking and Writing about Probability
Rules:• Draw a line on your bottle where you think the ideal
amount of water should be.
• Determine how much water to put into it in ml. Option 2: Drink water to level to try your flips. Place rubber band on bottle to show different ml.
• When you know how much water you need/ have, record it on your chart….put exactly that much water in there.
• You must use your bottle for the contest.

Hold the bottle from its neck-and-cap area. Apply force and give it a little flick with the bottom of the bottle out and rotating away from you. Give it enough arc so that as the rotation is being completed, the water slushes back to the bottom, allowing the bottle to fall straight down. That's how you bottle flip.

ABSTRACT:
Engage your students in real world problem-solving using probability and data collection as it relates to water. Water is the life-sustaining substance that is critical to all life, and unfortunately, it is being depleted, polluted, and misused. We will discuss ways that students can use local, national, and international resources to collect and crunch data, predict outcomes, and look at the probability of a future where clean water doesn’t exist. Also, water stewardship will be explored. This can be a great problem-based learning project with math at its soul.
ABSTRACT:
Writing….Research/ Charts/ Data/ Statistics/ Probability
• Probability of waterequity.org being able to assist at least 30% of the world’s population that has substandard drinking water and sanitation
• Probability of the mortality rate for children under age 5 dying due to diarrhea decreasing because of clean drinking water and better sanitation
FACT:75% of the Earth is water.
Fact:97% of the water is ocean.
Fact:2.5% is fresh water
Fact:Of the 2.5.% of fresh water, 70% of that water is ice.
Fact:Of the 2.5% of fresh water, 30% of that water is ground water.
Fact:Of that 30% of ground water, 29% is polluted.
Fact:Of the remaining 1%, 70% is used for irrigation and 22% is used in industry.
Fact:Approximately, 0.08% for domestic use.
Today we have gathered and we see that the cycles of life continue. We have been given the duty to live in balance and harmony with each other and all living things. So now, we bring our minds together as one as we give greetings and thanks to each other as People. Now our minds are one.

“If we are truly going to impact our global community, then our mission as educators,
environmentalists, and life-long learners is to equip future generations with those strategies and skills necessary to solve the problems that the past generations have created and prevent
these and other problems from occurring.”Kimberly V. Moore

1. Create a chart based on the data contained in this report (Death and Disease).
2. Write a paragraph based on the probability that a child under the age of 5 will die due to diarrhea.
