Here are some fun ideas for things to do in the rain
***Size up raindrops...they range from smaller then a pinhead to as big as a pencil eraser. Fill a pan with 2 inches of flour. catch some rainddrops, then let the flour pellets dry. Compare their sizes
***Water color tree... Using a paper plate, draw a tree trunk in crayon. With washable colored markers, top the trunk with bold squiggles. Now hold the plate in the rain and watch the "leaves" unfurl.
***Set up an array of pots, bottoms up, below a dripping roof edge.Now listen to the sound of your
Rain Symphony.
For the Fun of It...FYI:
water is made of hydrogen and oxygen.Each water molecule has two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.The scientific formula for water reflects this H2O
The three forms of water:
Solid: When water freezes (at 32 degrees F) it becomes ice
Liquid: At medium temperatures (when ice melts or gas cools) water is a liquid
Gas: When water is hot enough to boil (at 212 degrees F or above) it turns to vapor.
