Students need to use planning, trust, cooperation, inclusion, and communication in order to get all students from one side of a small designated playing field (the "river") to the other, without taking more than two steps per person on the playing...

In small groups, students find a secret place and then use a compass and landmarks to make a map for others to follow. Students also write and draw detailed observations of their surroundings in their special place.

Students will observe first-hand how water changes forms and moves around on earth.
