- Water cycle: observing how water is sprayed from the ground and evaporates back into the air
- States of matter: understanding how water can be a liquid, solid (ice), and gas (water vapor)
- Gravity: observing how water falls back to the ground due to gravity
- Temperature: feeling how the water can be cool or warm depending on the weather and time of day
- Biodiversity: observing different types of plants and insects that may be attracted to the water
Encourage the child to explore the different features of the splash pad, such as the different water sprays and patterns. They can also observe how the water interacts with different surfaces, such as concrete or grass. Additionally, they can research and learn about the different plants and insects they may see around the splash pad.
