In order to educate STEM and other students about the rigors and nuances of the FEW-Nexus, a set of links to activities on Teach the Earth or other helpful lessons are provided below.

Lesson 1: Water Resources and Water Footprints (High School). GRACE Communications Foundation. This lesson helps students understand why Earth is considered the "water planet." Students analyze how much of Earth's water is available for humans to use for life-sustaining purposes, and they explore the concept of water scarcity in both physical and economic terms. This is the first of the three-part Lessons for Understanding Our Water Footprint: High School Lesson Plans. (Part of On the Cutting Edge Peer Reviewed Teaching Activities collection)
