How Do We Get Water?

-->

In this week's Parsha, we learned how Rivka had to go to  the well to get water for her family. We concluded that long ago there was no indoor plumbing, so they got their water from a  well. This led to a discussion of how we get our water today. One of the children suggested that water comes from pipes! We had a hands – on demonstration and searched the “pipes of Yavneh”. We examined the plumbing system in our classroom and then went down to the “bowels” of the school and saw all of the pipes twisting and turning that carry the water and waste throughout the building. We created our own pipe system with pvc pipes and watched sand flow through the pipes.
