Reflection

During this activity I learned a lot about water. I was very surprised at how little fresh water there is in the world and how much salt water there is. My prediction for salt water was pretty close but I was off by a lot on the other forms. But now I know exactly how little fresh water we actually have on the whole Earth. I also never knew that ice would be the most out of ground, air, and surface.
