18 Making a watershed. Use large sheets of paper and eye droppers with colored water. Wrinkle Paper to create mountain ranges.

19 Making a watershed. Use large sheets of paper and eye droppers with colored water. Wrinkle Paper to create mountain ranges. Use Sharpie to mark the divides / top of mountains

20 Making a watershed. Use large sheets of paper and eye droppers with colored water. Wrinkle Paper to create mountain ranges. And arrows to show which way water will travel. Use Sharpie to mark the divides / top of mountains

21 Making a watershed. Use large sheets of paper and eye droppers with colored water. Wrinkle Paper to create mountain ranges. And arrows to show which way water will travel. Use Sharpie to mark the divides / top of mountains *10 Divides and 50 arrows then you get water.

22 Activity! Wrinkle a piece of paper to create mountain ranges and valleys.
Could use really large paper sheet outdoors? Place paper in tray. Teacher will spray with blue food coloring (rain) Observe how the water behaves in the watershed.
