This activity visually represents the water cycle, helping children understand processes like evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. By observing these changes, students connect real-world phenomena to scientific concepts.
Visual and hands-on experiments engage children’s observational skills, allowing them to see the water cycle in action. This approach aligns with Bruner's CPA (Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract) approach, moving from tangible experience to abstract concepts.
1. Gather a clear ziplock bag, 1 cup of water, and a permanent marker. 2. Draw the sun and clouds on one side of the bag. 3. Pour the water into the bag and seal it tightly. 4. Tape the bag to a sunny window. 5. Observe daily for a week — note any changes in the water. 6. Discuss: What happens to the water? Where does it go?
