Rainy Day Explorers: How Do Animals Stay Dry?

The students examined which materials are waterproof and can keep animals dry. They tested different materials like feathers, leaves, wax paper, cotton balls, and water to represent how animals stay dry (e.g., ducks' waterproof feathers, butterflies hiding under leaves).

Rainy Day Explorers: How Do Animals Stay Dry?

Experimentation and Observation: Each team tested the materials by spraying them with water and observing how well they repelled or absorbed it.

Making rain clouds in a Jar

We used shaving cream and food coloring to conduct an experiment and observe how rain falls from clouds. The shaving cream represents the clouds, while the colored water simulates the rain. As the colored water passes through the shaving cream, with the help of gravity, it is released into the water below, just like rain falls from clouds.

Let’s Collect Rain Water

The students realized that water should not go to waste. They designed and built systems to collect rainwater, using creative methods to capture and store it effectively.Through this activity, they understood the importance of collecting rainwater and using it as a renewable resource instead of letting it drain away.

Paper Plate Sun and Rain Craft

The students painted a sun on one half of a paper plate, adding a face or rays. On the other half, they glued cotton balls for clouds and blue tissue paper strips for raindrops. Then, they folded the plate in half to flip it back and forth, changing the weather between sunny and rainy.

Animal Maths

After reading the book, children count the different animals mentioned, and sort them into categories (Mammals, Birds, Insects, Invertebrates). Discuss which animals are big/small, heavy/light, and we create a graph
