Water, the atmosphere
Water is central to all life on our planet. Clean water is critical for our health and cleanliness and therefore for our society. On this page you can find resources on how water is cleaned and purified for drinking, how water is used day to day, differences between hard and soft water, the water cycle and water filters.

If the Earth were the size of a globe, the atmosphere would be less than the thickness of the veneer on the varnish. It is only 30 miles high but critically important for life on our planet. This page contains resources to help students understand the depletion of ozone by chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and the use of alternatives.
