Water rides continue to grow in popularity.
This activity allows children to investigate large quantities of water. Have children place a few empty gallon milk jugs side by side, then measure the row to investigate how long the row of jugs would have to be to contain this much water. Have students determine how long it would take the buckets at Discovery Bay to empty as much water as flow over the Niagara Falls in 1 second. The row of containers would be nearly 70 miles long.
