My Project

Young children are naturally drawn to water. They want to explore and play with water while washing their hands, and they enjoy splashing in puddles.

Investigating water provides children with an opportunity to learn about how water is used and its' role in helping people and the environment.

In this study, children will explore a variety of questions and concepts through experiences that support all areas of development and learning. With materials such as spray bottles, sponges, and ice cube trays, students will be able explore water in a meaningful way.

Ms. Nicole PS 56 Louis DeSario School Grades PreK-2
