  1. Water scarcity poses a significant global challenge, which is often overlooked, particularly in regions with abundant water resources. This article outlines a curriculum designed for middle school students (grades 6–8) that addresses the dynamics of water scarcity and sustainability through five detailed lessons centered around the water cycle. The curriculum is designed to meet the Next Generation Science Standards, specifically focusing on standards ESS2.C and ESS3.C. These standards highlight the importance of water in Earth’s surface processes and the impact of human activities on the environment. The lessons also emphasize scientific modeling and using data as evidence as crucial to understanding water security and action. By emphasizing student voice and incorporating diverse perspectives, the curriculum aims to educate students and empower them to actively address real-world environmental challenges.
