Paul H. Hi, I was recently hired as a middle school science teacher in Newark, NJ. I received a call on a Friday and was asked to begin the following Monday. As a new teacher, and with only 3 days to prepare, I was really feeling the pressure. The school requires 2 weeks of lesson plans every Sunday, so I began searching the web for help. Thank goodness I found Lesson Planet. I still use the site everyday to form great lessons and activities for the kids.

Water Cycle
1,348
3rd - 7th
3.5/5 Stars

Young scientists explore Earth elements by conducting an experiment. They define water vocabulary terms such as condensation and precipitation. In addition, they conduct a water experiment in which they build a terrarium, so they can observe a smaller scale water cycle in their class.

Water Cycle Word Study
723
4th - 6th
3.0/5 Stars

Examine the written similarities in the words used to describe the water cycle. The focus is on suffixes and prefixes as a way to gain understanding of the new vocabulary terms. Some of the words included are evaporation, transpiration, precipitation, accumulation, and condensation.

Water: A precious resource
165
3rd - 6th
3.0/5 Stars

In this water worksheet, students watch a video on water, read a passage, complete sentences, write vocabulary words, and write a paragraph. Students complete 5 activities total.

Scientific Method: How Many Drops of Water Fit on a Coin?
1,398
3rd - 6th
4.0/5 Stars

Young investigators conduct an experiment using the scientific method. They see how many drops of water fit on a coin; have them conduct several different trials. This involves making a hypothesis, looking at controls, and introducing variables.

Rachel's Life is in a Hole
317
7th - 12th
4.0/5 Stars

Explore how lack of access to water impacts peoples' lives in poor countries. Through text reading and discussion, middle schoolers are presented with the story of a young girl who lives and functions with limited water resources. They write a paragraph that summarizes the article and includes their own personal reflection. Consider also asking learners how they can reduce their own water usage and discuss why this is important. 

Density
266
5th - 7th
3.0/5 Stars

Young mathematicians discover that density is a unique physical property of matter and find the mass of given materials using balance. They find the volume of rectangular prisms and of given objects using the water displacement method.

Dream Stream
41
5th - 8th
4.0/5 Stars

Investigate the parts of a healthy stream to build content-specific vocabulary and ecological awareness. The class builds vocabulary and determines why clean water is important for trout. They design a shoe box to show what a clean stream should look like.

Selecting the Tap: Water Safety

6th - 8th
4.5/5 Stars

Are you looking for a cross-curricular activity between science and language arts, or a writing project for your environmental science class? Examine water as a scarce natural resource instead of taking it for granted. Middle schoolers identify the traits of potable water, and research local water sources to determine if they are impaired or not.

Water: Narrative vs. Expository Texts

Have your young scientists explore a single element of the water cycle and write a report to explain findings. Your class can take their writing through all the steps of the writing process and publish it using a Web-based multimedia program called SiteMaker. This lesson integrates technology, science, and the writing process. If you do not have access to SiteMaker, there are other ways to present the information.
