Amazing water drop

"Amazing water drop" is the theme of this project. Water is essential for all life - we need water for drinking, washing, cooking and … swimming, fishing, sailing and skiing. We can examine some of water issues in the context of the classroom, for example: the water pollutions, the concept of the water cycle, dissolving in water etc. For this project, the children of both schools collaborated in writing story about the travels of a raindrop, using their imagination, their knowledge of computers and environmental issues related to water.
