Oscar reveals the amazing facts about water. Where does it come from? What happens when it gets very hot or very cold? Why do some things float and others sink? What are some uses of water? Oscar explores condensation, evaporation, buoyancy, flotation, and the whole water cycle of the sea, clouds, rain, and rivers.

Adventures of Little Drip
551.4 ADV
1 VHS videocassette 15 minutes.PRIVATE "TYPE=PICT;ALT="
Explores the water cycle. Story of Little Drip, an animated character who fell off his "water cycle."
Water cycle simulator
551.4 WAT
1 model, 19" x 14 1/2" x 4" + guide.
Create a water cycle as it occurs in nature. This experimental model creates a continuous water cycle that demonstrates precipitation, collection, evaporation, and condensation. It also graphically illustrates the distillation of water as it changes into gas. All processes are confined within the closed box; the sources of heat and cold are applied to the outside of the box. Model measures 19" x 14 1/2" x 4" and includes a study guide.
