Water Play Exploration Day - Engage students in an interactive 'Water Play Exploration Day' where they explore different stations with various shaped containers, ramps, and tubes. They will observe how water moves and changes shape, using descriptive language to share their observations. (45 min)

Container Shape Experiment - Facilitate a hands-on activity where students pour water into different shaped containers and observe how water takes the shape of each. Encourage them to describe what they see and share with the class. (25 min)

Water Sensory Station - Set up a sensory station where students can touch and manipulate water in different states, such as ice and steam, and discuss these changes with peers. (20 min)

Water Flow Exploration - Guide students in creating simple water flow experiments using ramps and tubes. Encourage them to predict how water will move and test their ideas, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills. (30 min)

Water Journal Introduction - Introduce students to their 'Water Journal' where they will draw or use stickers to document their water exploration experiences. Allow time for initial entries reflecting on their experiments. (15 min)

Water Storybook Contribution - Begin developing a class storybook where each student contributes a page with a drawing and a sentence about a unique way they observed water taking shape or moving. (30 min)

Feedback Circle - Implement a 'Feedback Circle' where students share their water journal entries and storybook contributions, receiving peer feedback and suggestions for improvement. (15 min)

Exploring Water Shapes - Facilitate a session where students pour water into various shaped containers and observe how the water takes on the shape of each container, using descriptive language to express their observations. (20 min)

Water's Many Forms - Set up sensory stations with ice and steam for students to touch and explore, discussing how water can change form with peers. (25 min)

Predicting Water Movement - Guide students in creating simple water flow experiments using ramps, encouraging them to predict which direction water will flow. (25 min)

Testing Water Flow - Allow students to test their predictions by pouring water down the ramps and observing the results, discussing as a group. (20 min)

Building a Water Flow Model - Begin a group project where students use recycled materials to build a simple model of a water flow system, demonstrating their understanding of movement and shape. (30 min)

Documenting Discoveries - Have students draw and describe what they observed in their water journals. (15 min)

Feedback Circle - Organize a session where students share their water journals and drawings with peers, receiving feedback and suggestions for improvement. (20 min)

Water Reflection - Host a discussion in the outdoor water play area, where students share their observations about how water changes shape and moves, using drawings and simple words. (25 min)

Water Movement Experiment - Guide students to create simple water flow experiments using ramps and tubes, predicting and testing how water will move. (25 min)

Water Journal Reflection - Allow time for students to document their observations in their Water Journals using drawings and stickers, reflecting on their experiment results. (20 min)

Outdoor Water Play Exploration - Visit the outdoor water play area set up with the local environmental group. Encourage students to experiment with water flow and observe changes in shape. (30 min)

Peer Sharing Circle - Facilitate a sharing circle where students discuss their outdoor water play experiences with peers, practicing effective communication. (15 min)

Water Flow System Construction - Facilitate a group project where students use recycled materials to build a simple model of a water flow system, demonstrating their understanding. (30 min)

Feedback Session - Implement a feedback session where students share their models with the class and receive constructive feedback and suggestions. (15 min)

Water Exploration Gallery Walk - Organize a gallery walk where students display their water journals and models, explaining their findings to visiting family members and community partners. (30 min)

Reflection and Q&A - Invite a member from Santa Monica Public Works to engage in a Q&A session with students, allowing them to reflect on their learning and ask questions. (15 min)

Water Park Planning - Collaborate as a class to design a miniature water park layout using sketches and recycled materials, encouraging creative thinking and problem-solving. (25 min)

Construction Preparation - Organize the materials needed for building their water park, sorting and categorizing based on their planned designs. (20 min)

Water Park Building - Begin constructing the miniature water park, applying knowledge of water flow and shape. Ensure all students participate in group tasks. (30 min)

Peer Feedback Round - Pause construction to allow students to share progress and receive constructive feedback from classmates. (15 min)

Final Touches - Continue building and adding final touches to the water park, ensuring each element demonstrates water movement and change. (25 min)

Water Journal Update - Document the building process and reflections in personal water journals, focusing on what they learned and enjoyed. (20 min)

Water Wonderland Festival Setup - Arrange the classroom and outdoor space for the festival, setting up displays and interactive experiments. (20 min)

Guided Tours and Presentations - Students practice leading tours of their water park and presenting their findings to guests, including families and community partners. (25 min)
