Does the rainwater get absorbed into the soil, collect in puddles or flow away?
Rainwater does all three things depending on the surface.
On soil and grass, water gets absorbed into the ground.
On hard surfaces like roads, water collects in puddles or flows away into drains.
On sloped surfaces, water flows downward into streams and rivers.
Explanation
The chapter explains that what happens to rainwater depends on where it falls. On soil, it gets absorbed. On hard surfaces, it collects in puddles or flows away. The chapter encourages children to imagine rain falling on different surfaces.
