Essential Question: Use pictures to trace the flow of drinking water from city pipe to drinking faucet in school.



The water enters from the city system through the water pipe that is rusting like old scrap metal in a junkyard. It runs along the building like a fast-flowing river.


It enters the water fountain that shoots like a water gun, curving into a rainbow after a heavy rain. 


Finally it enters the bathroom toilet. Bubbling like a pot of boiling water, it flushes, making the sound of a monster’s roar.
