Water Wonders #3 - Where does water come from? Where does it go?

When the children took the walk in the forest to find water, they noticed water in the creeks, water flowing to somewhere on the ground, and water in puddles. So where is the water coming from and where is the water going?

We read the book Waters by Edith Newlin Chase. It beautifully traces the water's journey through Canada, from a baby brook to the boundless sea.

Inspired by the artist Ron Broda, the children wanted to illustrate their understanding of where water comes from and goes. After painting the trickling water melting from the snowy mountains to the sea, the children added raindrops to show the water cycle (evaporation, condensation, precipitation).
