Film commentary: Punctuwool
A perfect medium to introduce children to the water cycle!In particular to recognise the states of water and their manifestations in various natural phenomena, to understand the notions of changes in the state of matter, in particular solidification, condensation and fusion.
Clouds-musters" take us on a perilous journey through the water cycle and show the different stages of this cycle, including precipitation, thunderstorms and the journey of clouds pushed by the wind to the sea... where new clouds will form.
The educational activity proposed by Émilie from Jeux d'école in the form of a game is a perfect accompaniment to this film.
A short film that can also be compared to Giant cloud, another film from the portal with clouds.
