This week the younger children are learning about the water cycle.
We chose to read from Rivers and Oceans by Barbara Taylor.
We also did an experiment demonstrating evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.
Draw the water cycle on a plastic bag. Add some water and seal up the bag. Tape the bag in a sunny window. The sun will cause the water to evaporate and it will condense at the top of the bag. We dyed the water blue so we could see it better. I also used hot water because the I wanted to speed up the process. (I mean we live in Michigan. There are no warm, sunny windows right now.) Finally, I taped the bag to another bag of ice to help the condensation. It looked something like this:
