This experiment requires some patience, so while waiting, it is a great time to move on to the next two experiments.Īfter evaporation we have condensation. As the sun heats the water, it should begin to evaporate.
Each hour mark the water level and begin to look for changes. Use a marker to make a line at the beginning water level. Place a full cup of water in front of a sunny window. You will only need a few readily available materials to complete all of these experiments: Use the printable to help children delve deeper into their understanding through these connections. These may be simple experiments, but connecting literature, science, and hands on discovery often gives a more concrete understanding of new concepts. Through the following three easy experiments, you can use a cup of water to show evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. The icing on the cake is what follows the story, “More About Water”! The author provides a scientific background to each page of the story sprinkling in important vocabulary words.Īs it says in the book, “Water moves and changes often – just like children!” The water cycle is a perfect scientific learning opportunity for some playful, active learning. The lovely illustrations by Jason Chin are a perfect accompaniment to the story. Water is Water by Miranda Paul uses short rhyming verse to follow water through phases throughout the seasons, states of matter, and the water cycle. So, when I stumbled upon a new picture book about the water cycle, I may have done a little happy dance. Picture books are a simple, beautiful way to teach so many lessons, concrete and abstract. They draw you in with their illustrations, and capture you with their words.
A person’s age does not matter when it comes to picture books.
Confession number two, I am even more entranced by picture books. I’m not sure what exactly entices me about this scientific phenomenon, perhaps because it is something children can see so readily in their own world, but it is something I have always loved teaching. WATER IS WATERĬonfession number one, I am a sucker for the water cycle. Please let us know if you find a post there that the MuseumTrade community would enjoy. We’ve organized and curated their content into areas of MuseumTrade, but we encourage you to take a visit for yourself. We came across the other day and want to share them with you, they have a plethora of resources for all museum types.
