World Water Day is March 22nd. We're mostly made of it -- about 60% of the human body is water. We need a lot of it -- you can't survive more than a week without it. And we've got a finite supply -- only a fraction of the water on our planet is drinkable. Yet many of us take it for granted.

There are so many ways to learn about water -- from global environmental issues around water cleanliness and scarcity, to the basic biological properties of water, to water conservation ideas and tips. How do you teach your students about this precious resource? Check out the playlist below for some fun ways to get your kids thinking about water -- today and every day.
