Water is a basic need
Water is one of the basic needs of all living things. People, animals and plants all need water to live. We drink water every day to stay healthy and to keep our body cool.
Key idea
All living things need water. Clean water is safe to drink.
Where water comes from
Water comes from rain, rivers and lakes. Rain water falls from the sky. Clean water is clear and has no colour. We use water to drink, to cook, to wash our body and to clean our things. Plants also need water to grow well. Water can flow from one place to another. We should always save water and never waste it.
Example
After playing, you feel thirsty. You drink a glass of clean water and feel better.
Remember
- Living things need water.
- Clean water is clear.
