Introduction
These lessons will help students understand the interrelationships between lakes and rivers. By studying the changes in the Aral Sea, they will understand that:
one. Lakes are affected by both the quantity and quality of water that Slows into them from rivers;
two. Damming or diverting rivers, for irrigation and other purposes can have a significant impact on the size and water quality of lakes
three. The negative effects including environmental, social, economic and health of disappearing natural resources are varied and complex
four. Water is not an in Finite resource and must be consumed sustainably

After watching this videos the learners should talk about their ideas .
They should give information about Aral Sea
how can we save Aral Sea
What should we do to do this
What disaster id there by Aral Sea Problem
How can we find the solution together for this global problem?
What has happened to the Aral Sea?
Impact on environment, economy, and public health. The Aral Sea is considered an example of ecosystem collapse. The ecosystems of the Aral Sea and the river deltas feeding into it have been nearly destroyed, largely because of the salinity being dramatically higher than ocean water.
Why did the activities of the Soviet Union affect the Aral Sea?
By establishing a program to promote agriculture and especially that of cotton, Soviet government led by Khrushchev in the 1950s deliberately deprived the Aral Sea of its two main sources of water income, which almost immediately led to less water arriving to the sea.
1. Be sure to read the Introduction and Task before moving on to #2!
2. Look at the color card on your desk. Math the color with the role listed below to find out what point of view you will be researching from for today's activity.
- Red= Local Cotton Farmer
- Blue= Local fisherman
- Green= Local parent of two young children
- Yellow= Politician from town of Moyne
3. Using the sources provided, complete the WebQuest Guide with your partner. (Each person should fill out their own individual guide.)
There is information about how today's activity will be graded attached. Also be aware that you will have to search and read the provided information to make inferences to answer the questions. The future of the Aral Sea is up to you.
Happy Questing!

Teacher Page
Digital citizens
They will learn that how solve the problem and how can they save the world.
What is life and how should we save it?
Innovative designer
They develop into protecting because the work calls for understanding the fundamentals of problem-solving.
Students must also study solution design, which requires them to identify issues, suggest fixes, and even create those fixes using digital tools.
Computational thinker
To engage in this kind of thinking, students will learn about protection and saving our nature.
