Flamingoes : Raindrops Experiment!!!

Raindrops Experiment

We did a simple fun experiment to show the children why it rains. The sponge represents the clouds which got heavier and heavier as the children took turns to drip water into it.

The children had a blast squirting the water out and wondering who would  be the first to make the water drip from the sponge! It was also a simple way to explain to the children the rain concept. 

We then went on to ask the children how we can save water and some replied by saying that we could collect the rainwater into buckets and reuse it! 

Purpose:

To teach the children about water cycle and its importance.

Connection to Lpfö 98-reviderad 2016:
