Nature Science

We had a wonderful time learning about Nature Science this morning! Our young scientists were able to explore solar energy through the use of some solar toys and by creating sun prints. We discussed the water cycle and the fact that all the rain on Earth is recycled time and time again. Its just one of many things that makes our planet unique. We also explored the tornado-in-a-bottle, which the young scientists had a lot of fun with.

We created terrariums to help observe the water cycle in an enclosed system. As the sun heats up the terrarium, the water will start to evaporate and condense along the side of the cup and the bag. Once enough water accumulates, it will become heavy and will ultimately fall back down into the cup. This is a simple example of how clouds work.
