Why it is Important to be Hydrated | Health Inquiry

 LI: to understand why staying hydrated is important for our health and learning.

Our Inquiry task was based on investigating the definition of hydration and dehydration, as well as figure out why it is important and very crucial to drink water regularly as part of our health and learning.

Our group started by researching hydration and dehydration and writing down what they mean to us. We wrote the definitions of hydration and dehydration on a google draw.

For our group, hydration means having enough fluid or water ingestion. Dehydration to us means the lack of water intake by a person or living/functioning organism.

On our poster, we began including information about why hydration is important and the benefits of drinking water regularly, as well as why dehydration can be a health hazard and the symptoms of dehydration.

Some of the symptoms are: headaches, feeling dizzy or dry mouth. Not drinking enough water can lead to health hazards that could possibly link to the heart injuries. 

Drinking enough water has a lot of health benefits as well as learning benefits. Regularly drinking water can also help you produce more energy and become more active for learning new things and going to school.

I enjoyed researching and learning more about hydration and dehydration because I can use my understanding to impact my learning and health in the future. I also enjoyed creating the infographic poster because I am able to share my understanding of hydration and dehydration with the audience.
