Objective
By the end of this lesson, Elisabeth will be able to build a shelter using coffee filter makers and understand how wind catches can help collect rainwater.
Materials and Prep
Materials needed:
- Coffee filter makers
- Water dropper
- Construction paper
- Scissors
- Markers or crayons
Prep: Make sure the coffee filter makers are clean and ready for use. Have the construction paper and markers/crayons ready for decorating.
Activities
1. Build a Coffee Filter Shelter: Elisabeth can use the coffee filter makers to create a small shelter by stacking and connecting them together. Encourage her to be creative with the design.
2. Wind Catcher Experiment: Show Elisabeth how wind catches can help collect rainwater by placing a coffee filter maker outside to catch raindrops. Discuss how the wind moves the rain into the catcher.
Talking Points
- Quotation: "Let's use these coffee filter makers to build a special shelter, just like making a little house for our toys!"
- Quotation: "See how the wind catcher helps collect rainwater? It's like magic how the wind brings the rain to us!"
