Morphie’s GREAT WATER
RIDE Adventure
Meet Morphie, a raindrop who travels, magically changes shape
and form (hence his name), and shows us how many things water
can do as he “rides” the water cycle. Use the story
of Morphie’s adventures as:
• A downloadable,
read-aloud poem, to make young children aware of the wonders of
water in our lives
• An illustrated, interactive on-line water adventure for
classroom computer use
Morphie’s rhyming story is a complement to science learning,
and an invitation to investigate more about the properties, uses,
vocabulary and responsible care of fresh water.
Ways to use Morphie’s Great Water Ride Adventure as a teaching
aid:
• As a whole narrative, to introduce and/or
sum up water concepts presented in Grade 2 science
• In parts, to illustrate the many different
aspects of water in our lives and in the natural environment (through
science, art, language)
• On a computer for children (in the classroom,
or at home to read with parents)
• As a theme for related cross-curricular
activities, demonstrations and extensions (see below)

"The best way to remember facts might be to set them to music. Medical students, for example, have long used rhymes and songs to help them master vast quantities of information, and we've just gotten fresh evidence of how effective this strategy can be. A young British doctor, Tapas Mukherjee of Glenfield Hospital in Leicester, was distressed by a survey showing that 55 percent of nurses and doctors at Glenfield were not following hospital guidelines on the management of asthma; 38 percent were not even aware that the guidelines existed."
