Water Wonders #1: Where Does Water Go in the End?

We began our Water Wonders with Lucas' question: "Where does water go in the end?"

To help the children understand where water comes from and where it ends up, we looked at the water cycle. They learned that our earth has a limited amount of water and it keeps going around and around through the process of evaporation, condensation and precipitation. The children created a collage illustrating the water cycle. To show where water ends up, they made sure oceans lakes, ponds, rivers and snow were included in the collage. However I told the children there is one secret place that water travels to. We watched the following video about it.

After watching the video, we added underground water to the collage.
