Experiment Setup for Water Seepage

Top Section:
- A student pondering the question: "How does water seep through the surface of the Earth?"
Middle Section:
- Three setups labeled 1, 2, and 3:
  - 1: Clay
  - 2: Sand
  - 3: Gravel
Lower Section:
- Beakers collecting water that seeps through the material.

Heat Experiment Setup

Stand: Vertical rod supporting a horizontal setup.
Metal Strip: Attached horizontally to the stand.
Pins: Labeled I, II, III, IV in a row.
Burning Candle: Positioned under the metal strip.

Sea Breeze Phenomenon

Cooler Sea: Labeled on the left.
Warmer Land: Labeled on the right with a house and trees.
Cool Sea Breeze: Blue arrow pointing from the sea towards the land.
Warm Air: Red arrow moving over the sea from the land.
Sun: Positioned in the sky above the land.

Spiral Paper Experiment

Spiral Paper: Cut along a spiral and suspended above a burning candle.
Observation: Demonstrates the effects of heat on the spiral.

Inquiry Process Stones

ENQUIRY: Top stone with a large "?"
