I recognize the bottom photo, of the ball run, its the little playground at my work! So fun! I’m wondering if I can get my hands on that for my class. We have done several experiments with water walls as well as using the water from our rain barrel for everyday mud kitchen fun. It’s always a joy for the kids to see how much rain gets collected from storms.
🙂 Your ball run is fabulous and YES you should get your hands on it for your class! 🙂 So much fun to add this to the Mud Kitchen play too!
I think that this lesson would work best again by putting students into small groups. Each group could have a beach pale. They can each decide where they would like to put their bucket in order for it to catch the most water. Near the gutter, out in the open, or possibly under something drippy! Then, they can check their buckets daily and stick a tower of cubes inside the bucket each day to measure how much water is in each. We can use the collected measurements to make bar graphs. By the end of the week, we can compare and see which group ended up with the most water, and we could discuss why this happened.
Because I’m always thinking of how to incorporate writing, we could also write opinion pieces that would start with “I think my bucket will get the most water because….” or “With my water I could…”
Lots to think about and plan!
Your class sounds lovely. All your ideas are thoughtful and stretched to include as many lessons as possible. Can’t wait to see what happens when it rains again. 🙂
I love this idea Heather. Lots of good imput.
just the other day we were creating marble runs and the kids were so curious and involved of how to make it work and add pieces on.
Very cool! Helen has done ‘rock rolling.” Balls can be added. Water can be added in the warmer months….the possibilities for math lessons here are endless.
Love our water wall. But with colder weather we are adjusting it to a rock rolling wall.
Hadn’t heard of that one before…rock rolling! Clever.
