The Wind group and
Fire group got together to go on an investigation. We were all looking for
water sources around our school. On our way to the forest, the children noticed
some puddles. Trystan said, "Puddles form when it rains", and Julia
added, "Water from a puddle goes in the ground." Trystan also
mentioned that, "Water from the puddle goes up into the sky",
referring to evaporation.
Sofia found water on
some leaves and noted that, "Plants and tress need water to grow. They
drink it."
Grace noticed the
drain and shared her knowledge with the group: "The water goes in the
drain, in through the water pump and into the ocean". Howard said that the
water from the drain "goes to the fire hydrant and it's used by the fire
fighters to put fires out."
We collected water
from the ocean, the stream in our forest, puddles and the river. We will
compare these samples throughout the inquiry. The children are very
enthusiastic to further explore water in our surroundings.
