the Diamonds teach us what they know about Water
The KG students were challenged to show what they knew about water in their own creative way. In small groups, the students were to take on the role of water droplets and tell their story in order to demonstrate understanding. The task watched their creativity and knowledge flourish, as the students flowed in different directions to reach the same goal.
Team Starshot decided to take on the role of the 'tears' of their teacher. Using digital photography and drawing they illustrated individual paths of where the tears travelled. One tear fell into the ground where it eventually was pumped up as drinking water. Another tear travelled to a seed to sprout as a plant and ended up in the flower. The group worked together to bind the book and presented it to the class.
Team Square created a puppet show. They designed the background in four different stages and created water drop puppets. The droplets started out in a mango which was consumed by a person. The droplets went from the stomach to the head when the person started to sweat. The sun then took the droplets to the sky to form clouds and then rain. The rain formed mud which sunk underground. It went to the pipes then into the shower.
Team Pizza decided to create a book called 'The Water Cycle' using drawing and writing. The story of their water drops started out in a rainbow. The sun came out and the drops went higher into the sky. They fell down as rain, and they went to a pipe to be cleaned another pipe sent the dirt one way, and the water went to the tap.
Team Rainbow decided to create a dramatization to tell their story of water. Once they wrote the script, they decided who would play the snowflake, the water droplet, the sun and the cloud. They each worked carefully on their costume, and they presented their play to the class. The water started out as a snowflake, but when it fell into a river, it melted and became a droplet. The droplet went down a waterfall, and then the sun came up. The droplet was heated and turned to vapor. It went up to the sky to help form a cloud.
