Thanks for visiting our Water - Use It Wisely kid's page. Take a look around and check out our resources for kids. It is easier to navigate than ever, so kids and adults can poke around, have fun and learn about water conservation in new ways.

Parents and teachers will love our water saving tip posters, which you can find under Water Saving Tips. These downloadable posters are perfect to get youngsters thinking about water use. The page also has lesson plans and tons of educational resources for teachers, which you'll find under the For Teachers link. And, of course, games like Tip Tank and Discover Water are perfect for kids of all ages. Check out the Games page for links to other cool water-related games and activities. You can test your water sense from our friends at EPA's WaterSense when you race through pipes and meet the water wasters. You can also take an interactive tour of how water works - from source to tap and back.

We enhanced our Kids page because we believe it is important to teach children early about water conservation so they can build smart habits that will last a lifetime. One way to do that is to watch the home water challenge video on our Water Challenge page.

Have you ever heard someone refer to water as H2O? Why do you suppose someone might call water by this name? What is water? Water is a basic molecule made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. When these three atoms come together, they form a strong bond that is difficult to break. The strength of this bond keeps a water molecule together for millions and even billons of years.

Water is one of the most common substances on the Earth. Covering over 70% of the surface of the Earth, it is easy to find. Even in a desert it is not hard to find water, if you know where to look.

Scientists believe that the amount of water on Earth does not change appreciatively over time. In other words, the amount of water that is on the Earth today is the same amount that was on the Earth during the reign of the dinosaurs.
