Water flow

One of my classrooms had a project on Water this summer.  We read stories and sang songs about water, made art projects using water and watercolors, and explored many properties of water.  

One such property that I explored in our outdoor Redwood Grove area was flow.

I set up gutters with water at the top and bottom, cups and scoops of various sizes, large hollow blocks and more gutters for adding on to the water system.

The exploration was really exciting to watch, especially noting the differences in how the 3-, 4-, and 5-year-olds interact with and experience water and its flow.
