AnonyMouse_46159 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 and how it ends up in our taps. Has anybody done this all the literature I can find is too advanced for pre-schoolers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_3735 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 try your local water board for information and maybe education resources.. ours have visits and open days, along with a web site.. not checked if it is suitable for the younger ones but maybe some could be used and adapted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_19762 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I haven't 'done' it - but would keep it all very simple - something along the lines of Rain Reservoir Pumping station/Waterworks - where it is cleaned to make it safe for us to drink Taps Simples! You could go into the whole pumped from underground and boreholes and all that malarky - but don't think that i would bother too much about that! :1b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_47736 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I would probably go along the lines of rain in mountains and streams/rivers. Visit a local river or stream and talk about where the water comes from - try to make it practical so they can actually see what happens. You could use piping, guttering, tubes and bottles with the bottoms cut off in your water play to make irrigation systems so they can understand the transportation of water. Pumps would also be good. Just do everything through play I suppose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
