Flamingoes: World Water Day


Flamingoes: World Water Day



For the World Water Day, the children learned about the importance of water and the water cycle. To show the concept of evaporation and significance of water, the children observed and weighed some fruits and vegetables. We left them by the window sill in the sun for a day. The children made predictions as to what will happen to the the food items and why?

The next day the children observed that the appearance have changed. They have dried up and the size of the fruits and vegetables have decreased a considerable amount!!!! We weighed them again to confirm our findings.It made them think what will happen to us if we don't get water for a day or two and how important water is for us.


Purpose:
To teach the children about water cycle and its importance.
Connection to Lpfö 98-reviderad 2016:


Develop their understanding of the different cycles of nature and how people, nature and society influence each other.
