"Making Rain"

We've started a Rain/Water Cycle Inquiry in the classroom.

It all started with rainboots, a talk about he rain, sharing our rainboots and talking about puddles.  The students began to question what they were observing in their lives and environment.  We talked about:  "Why does it rain?  How does it rain?  What happens to the rain when it falls.  We've talked about the water cycle:  collection, evaporation, condensation and precipitation.

Here is a collage of photos created by Mrs. Melo to outline some of our activities:
