You waited for rain and watched how raindrops fell to the ground. You collected rainwater and observed if it was clean or dirty. You saw what happened to the rainwater that fell in different places. Now write a few lines on your observations of the rain.
Raindrops fell from the clouds in different sizes - some big and some small. The rain was heavy with drops falling fast, appearing like sheets of water.
Collected rainwater looked clean but had tiny dust particles.
Rainwater on soil got absorbed, on roads it collected in puddles, and on slopes it flowed into drains and streams.
After the rain stopped, puddles dried up in the sun while water in streams continued to flow.
Explanation
This question asks children to write about their observations of rain from Activity 1. The chapter describes observing raindrop size, speed, direction, and what happens to rainwater on different surfaces.
Solution Steps
Raindrops fall from clouds in different sizes - some big and some small
Heavy rain appears like sheets of water with drops falling fast
Collected rainwater looks clean but contains tiny dust particles
Rainwater gets absorbed in soil, forms puddles on roads, and flows into drains and streams on slopes
Puddles dry up in the sun after rain stops while streams continue to flow
