Where Does Rain Go?
Water and Weather
Clouds contain tiny water droplets or ice crystals. Rain falls as drops of water.
Did you know?
Water vapour is an invisible gas; clouds contain tiny droplets or ice crystals.
Look together
Find a drop falling into a puddle. Where does the water from the roof go?
An idea to try
Draw another piece of clothing for rain.
For the adult reading along
A little more to discover
The cloud and large drops are simplified symbols. A cloud contains tiny droplets or ice crystals, rather than a mass of visible vapour. Water vapour is an invisible gas. The scene connects rain to familiar observations: puddles and water running off a roof.
Watch a puddle from a sheltered place. What do you notice when a drop touches it?
