After a rainy day, give the children medicine droppers and small plastic cups to collect rainwater samples, during outdoor time. Draw a fill line on each cup so the children have a goal of how much water to collect. Once the children fill their cups with rainwater, have them pour their rainwater into a large glass jar. Have the children observe and compare the rainwater to drinking water.
