Advocacy Project: Test Your WaterSense

Before doing this activity, become more knowledgeable in water efficiency... This will help you throughout the quiz :) By being water efficient, we can:

Save Water and Protect the Environment
Save Money on Water Bills
Use Less Water Outdoors

On the EPA Website, there is a quiz called Test Your WaterSense. I thought this quiz was great because it's a combination of PacMan AND questions about water safety :)

After clicking on the Test Your WaterSense link, begin by clicking the "Play Now" button.

Flow will be your water-efficiency hero :) She understands how important it is to use water efficiently all year long as well as purchasing water-efficient products. She does whatever she can to avoid the Water Wasters and their negative behavior!

These are the Water Wasters to watch out for:

Sogosaurus: Waters her lawn and garden every day of the week. Sometimes she even forgets to turn her sprinkler off, or lets it spray onto the sidewalk and street.
Drip Drip: Lets his faucet drip all day and all night. He doesn't care that leaky faucets waste hungereds of gallos a week, and even carriers a wrench and old washers with him in care he finds a faucet that won't drip water.
Swirly: Swirly likes to watch toilet bowls swirl. He surrounds himself with inefficient toilets that leak and run constantly. Swirly even uses his toilets as garabage cans, flushing down facial tissue.
Drainiac: Loves to run the tap every chance she gets. She rinses her dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. She leave the water running while she brushes her teeth. She even runs the tap while watching TV.


How to play: Use your keyboards arrows to direct Flow through the maze to reach each of the four icons - there will be a sink, toilet, sprinkler, and water glass. Once you reach an icon, use your mouse to answer two questions. Once the questions are answered, the icon have been completed and you can more on. If both answers are answered correctly, grab the golden water drop for bonus points.

Now, Flow only has THREE lives. If she's caught by the Water Wasters three times... it's game over!

Lets see where you rank in WaterSense smartmess!

For each drop Flow drinks, she earns 5 points and each correct answer earns 20 points.
