On the OLPC Xo, draw a picture of a lake with a river flowing into it. Draw some mountains in the distance where the river originates. Have students take turns adding the following features to the drawing: fish, trees, animals, houses, farms, and people doing activities related to the things they have drawn. What do the plants, animals, and people in the picture use the water for? Why is it important that this water be kept clean and plentiful?
