Procedure/Outline |
| 1. Warm up by showing students a simple map of the school grounds. Ask students: "When it rains, what will happen to the rain water that falls on our school grounds?" Chart their responses.
2. Tell the class that we are now going to take a rainy-day hike to discover what happens to the rain water.
3. Students dress appropriately. Take them outside and begin a simple tour of the school grounds, looking for sites of flowing water. They should observe what is in the water, and which direction the water is going.
4. Students race their boats, that were made on a previous day, to see how far and where the boats travel.
5. Students go back to the classroom and review the charted predictions. |
