The Editorial gives learners an introduction to the topic. It shows learners that there are different amounts of water in different places in the world. They also learn, what we need water for and which types of water there are. The tech-segment is about water consumption and water pollution. Afterwards the learners develop ideas to save water. The subject biology is about the correlation between water, living beings and plants. During two experiments the learners can become active themselves. They explore, how much water is in a cucumber and observe how water gets into every single cell of a plant. The physics-part is about the aggregate states, which are made experienceable during two experiments. The subject math is about calculating with quantities. Here the learners can apply their knowledge in an experiment about a dripping faucet. In the end the subject geography is about the question where water comes from and how water is connected to the weather.
