Water and its power

Carrying out the activity:
      Water is essential for sustaining life on Earth and it is considered the source of life.
      In the week "Water, the source of life" we decided to carry out with the children three experiments using water. 

First experiment
The 3-4 year old children performed an experiment using the following materials: water, pepper, washing-up liquid, disposable plates.
Realization method: We put water in a disposable plate, then added ground pepper. Each child touched the middle of the plate with a finger soaked in dish detergent. The ground pepper retreated to the edge of the plate.
Through this experiment, I showed the children the importance of using cleaning solutions. By using soap and water correctly, we destroy all microbes.
After the activity, the children went to the river. They collected stones and played in the sand.

Second experiment
The 4-5 year old children performed an experiment using the following materials: water, coloured candies, disposable plates.
Realization method: The children place the coloured candies on the edge of the plate and then add water. The candies start to discolor and a rainbow appears on the plate. Each child made his own rainbow using his favorite colors.

​

Third experiment
The 5-6 year old children performed an experiment using the following materials: sheet of paper and scissors.
Realization method: Following the instructions the children made a paper boat so that it could be launched on the water. After the activity, they went to the river behind the school and launched their boats on the water.
