Moving Droplets

We continued to explore the movement of water.
Starting with some videos about water droplets, the children gained more ideas about how water droplets move.

Then, we split into different stations to explore various water-drop movements.

First of all, the children used eye-dropper to drip coloured water from the top of our easel to create a collaborative picture. The children enjoyed watching the droplets dripping down the easel and mixing different colours when the droplets met on their journey. 

The children use white glue, water colour and salt to create their water drop picture. We squeezed glue bottle to make big drops and add salt to make a little splash!

The children could recall the field trip to the Kitsilano beach as they create pictures on a tray with rocks, sea shells and blue water. 

As well, the children had a fun water-drop game. The children use straws to blow blue droplets on a piece of baking sheet (wax paper). We observed how droplets move. Some children liked to see how fast their droplets could go; on the other hand, some children liked to watch how a big droplet splits into many smaller droplets!
