    The document describes three rain-themed centres for children to explore where rain comes from and how it falls. At the first centre, children will conduct an experiment dropping food dye into jars of water and shaving cream to observe how rain falls from clouds. The second centre involves exploring the intensity of rain using containers with holes of different sizes in a water tub. The third centre has children creating rain sticks by filling tubes with items like pasta and exploring the sounds they make. The goal is for children to understand that rain falls from clouds in the sky through hands-on exploration of how it forms and lands.

    Assessment & Recording: (What are we assessing? How are we assessing? How are we recording?)
    - Children will be assessed on their ability to identify where rain comes from
    - The children will be assessed through direct questioning throughout the lesson, from the teacher to the children as they are completing activities
    - The children’s answers will be recorded upon a checklist in which the teacher will identify if they were able to or unable to identify the sky, more
    specifically clouds, as the source of rain
    Highlight one or two outcomes specifically connected to your objective/s.

    Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners


    - 4.1- curiosity, imagination
    - 4.2- Hypothesising, investigating, inquiry
