We’ll need a bit of space for this one, as we roll out a river, build a reservoir and a water treatment plant, before running some water pipes to homes, businesses and schools. We’ll also read a beautiful story about a water drop, see how water changes states (but never disappears!), and even do a bit of acting (who can act out a melting ice cube?).
