...only a really small amount of that is for drinking because most of it is salt water in the sea or else it is frozen!
We went outside and River poured some water on the paving to make a puddle.
 |
| Then Corban drew around the puddle with chalk. We went back inside. An hour later we came back outside and... |
...most of the water had gone!!!
Annie told us that the heat from the sun had made the water dry up into the air and that this is called evaporation.
Was the water now up in the clouds??
Inside Te Manawa we palyed a fun game where some of us threw blue balls, like balls of water, from out of a pretend lake up into a pretend cloud.
It was like we were being the sun and evaporating the water balls!!It was fun
 |
| Then some of the children got to pull a chain and the "water" balls came out of the "cloud" and poured back . down into the "lake". Annie told us that this is called the water cycle. She drew a diagram on the white board and we copied it. .  Then we went back into the education room and got to hold a piece of ice. What do you think happened when we held the ice in our hands? When we got back to school we wrote about it in our writing books. |
