April Showers....Bring Runoff

April showers bring lots of rainwater, but where does the water go? It flows into the ground, down to the rivers and streams, and eventually into the oceans. To see this in action, set up your own water shed model at home. First choose a place to set up your experiment (ideally somewhere that can get wet like the bathtub or somewhere outside!) Next, find things that you can use to build your model such as bath toys, dishes, rocks, sticks, sponges, or dirt. Once your model is built, get a spray bottle to see what happens when you add water. Where does the water flow to?
