Where Does Our Water Come From?
In terms easily understandable to children, this DVD makes us realize how important water is in our everyday life. The film shows where water comes from, how the water cycle on earth works and describes the long journey of the water before it finally flows from our taps. Splash, the raindrop, guides the children through the exciting world of water. It also points out possible dangers and explains that water is the most important resource on earth. For without water, there is no life. The accompanying material contains extensive suggestions and recommendations such as songs, experiments, tips for assembly, games, mandalas, etc., both for a practical application of the topic in the classroom and for reinforcing the knowledge the children have acquired. Special emphasis was laid on an integrated learning experience in kindergarten life for the children to experience our most important resource with all their senses. Thus, this DVD offers a suitable, childoriented basis for projects in kindergarten and early primary school, which take up and illustrate a topic familiar from the children‘s everyday lives.
