Resources Small plastic bags twistie ties plants or trees Learning Experiences Choose a sunny day and identify plants and trees that are in the direct sunlight. Place the bags over some leaves on a plant or tree in the sunlight. Seal the bag around the leaves by securing it with a twistie tie. Ask the children to predict what will happen. After a few hours the student should check the bags.
Children write the instructions for the experiment and draw a picture of their observations.
Look at a diagram of a water cycle wheel and then ask the children make their own.
