本周的问题
This Week’s Big Question

雨是怎么来的？雨落到地上后去了哪里？
Where does rain come from? And what happens to the water that covers the ground when it rains – where does it go when the rain ends?

出门在外
Out On The Town

外出的时候，和孩子一起观察一下身边的水循环现象，例如天上的云，水蒸气，湖泊，路上的积水。和孩子说说水在水循环的过程中是怎么改变形态的。
As you are out in your neighborhood, help your child spot evidence of the water cycle. This might include clouds in the sky; streams, lakes, or puddles on the ground; or steam rising into the air. Talk with your child about how water changes throughout the water cycle.
