• Relate: Students identify the relationships between the amount of water needed and the type, species, and size of plants.
• Relate: Students analyze and interpret a plant’s watering requirements in the context of monthly rainfall amounts.
• Take a Perspective: From the perspective of their rainwater harvesting system, students construct an explanation of how climate will affect the plants that will be chosen.
