What educators are saying
This was a great addition to my unit on Scarcity. I left this assignment with a substitute teacher and it was very easy to implement.
I used this resource with my 5th graders when we read "A Long Walk to Water"; it was the perfect pairing. Though it is designed for higher grades, it worked in my class with proper scaffolding. They really learned a lot.

Description
This worksheet covers water scarcity, including its causes, impact, and more. An optional worksheet with ten multiple-choice questions is included.
The worksheet is divided into the following sections:
- What is water scarcity?
- What causes water scarcity?
- Depleting resources
- Impact on the environment
- Threats posed by water scarcity
- What can be done?
At the end there are two extended response questions:
- Where you live, how concerned are you with water scarcity? Why?
- What do you think would happen if a major city ran out of freshwater? Would it be abandoned? Would it lead to conflict? Explain your answer.
Responses to the extended responses can vary, so there is no answer key for those.
A PDF worksheet, answer key, link to download the worksheet in Google Slides, and link to download a Google Form are all included.
