Our Early Preschool students (age 2) are still studying about water.  Part of that study is about rain and the purpose of rain.  This photo shows an activity the students did to simulate rain and what it does to replenish the earth.

I like several things about this activity.  First, I like that it engages the students in hands-on learning.  I also like that fact that it teaches the importance of rain.  But most of all, I like that fact that this activity is likely to make a mess!  Learning is messy sometimes.  Finally, this activity is fun because it involves water.  Our students have shown a clear love of learning (and playing) when water is involved.

Speaking of rain, I found this site that was wonderful images of rain…http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/09/07/35-brilliant-examples-of-rain-photography/.  I thought you might enjoy it.
