The mustard seeds did not move in a straight line; instead, they spread out and moved in different directions based on the surface’s folds and slopes. This shows that water, like seeds, flows depending on the landform. Natural features such as hills, valleys and plains guide the water’s direction, causing rivers to bend, split or collect in different areas as they flow.

Yes, the mustard seeds gather in some areas where the paper is lower or has dips. This is similar to how water collects in valleys, lakes, ponds and rivers. Land formations like basins or flat areas stop water from flowing further, allowing it to settle and form water bodies. This activity helps usRead more

When a drop of water is placed on plain paper, it spreads out and gets absorbed. But on wax crayon-colored paper, the water drop stays on top and doesn't spread. This shows how wax makes surfaces waterproof. Similarly, plant leaves often have a waxy layer that prevents extra water from entering, proRead more
When a drop of water is placed on plain paper, it spreads out and gets absorbed. But on wax crayon-colored paper, the water drop stays on top and doesn’t spread. This shows how wax makes surfaces waterproof. Similarly, plant leaves often have a waxy layer that prevents extra water from entering, protecting them from damage and keeping them healthy by avoiding waterlogging.
