Driving up the Lower School driveway, you might ask, "why do you have four Ziplock bags hanging in your window?". As part of understanding how important the rain forest is to our earth's climate, your daughters learned about the water cycle today. We taught them that water starts in the ocean, evaporates into the sky, condenses and forms clouds, then precipitates back down to the ocean--then the whole process starts all over again. The girls created their own cycle using plastic bags and water...and this afternoon have already seen progress--the water has started evaporating and condensation is forming!
Some Pre-Firster's labeling their bag.
So proud of their homemade water cycle!
Pre-First water cycle in action!
We also made rainsticks, similar to what indigenous people made in South America and Africa, to celebrate the beginning of rain or to bring rain to a dry area.
