Water Painting

edited by: William C. Ritz and William Straits

This activity is about discovering that water evaporates. On a sunny day, give children buckets of water and wide paintbrushes for painting the outside tables and benches. Have them to also paint something that’s in the shade. Encourage them to notice the changes as the water dries and ask them if it dries as fast in the shade as in the sun. For a fun follow-up activity, try painting with ice cubes! A materials list, internet resources, standards, and safety practices are provided. This book selection also includes the Table of Contents, Preface, About the Editors, Introduction, Simple Graphing for Young Children, Science Teaching Boards and Boxes, Basic Materials List, and Index.
