Students study the flow of water in the environment. In this water cycle lesson students evaluate the consequences of changes in the water cycle using data.
Students read a story about water cycles and then illustrate and write a summary of the story. As a class, they explain their ideas about water cycles. Afterward, students participate in experiments that enable them to observe the water cycle. They sing a song which explains the sequence of the water cycle.
Learners discuss what happens water on the sidewalk after the sun comes out. In this water cycle lesson, students further discuss condensation and water vapor. A terrarium is used to demonstrate the water cycle to learners.
Young scholars explore the water cycle. In this water lesson, students apply the scientific method in activities that enable them to take note of the properties of water. Young scholars record how water acts on different surfaces and share their findings.
Second graders investigate the water cycle. In this water cycle lesson plan, 2nd graders discover how the water cycle effects erosion and weathering. Students create their own terrariums to view the water cycle. Students illustrate their terrarium and record daily changes.
Students investigate water. For this water lesson, students investigate the water cycle and clouds. For two weeks students will chart cloud cover each day, measure rain fall and predictions about the weather. Students compare and contrast the importance of water uses. Students also create a journal to ask and answer questions and vocabulary lists.
Students explore the stages in the water cycle, evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. They hypothesize about the source of rain and search for forms of water on Earth.
Make your students 'happy' about understanding the water cycle with The Happy Game; where young learners put their knowledge to the test to answer questions about evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. Tip: Use this game prior to a test or to see what students already know.
The water cycle is the focus of this technology and Earth Science lesson. Third graders complete a webquest to gain understanding of the water cycle. As they navigate through the Web Quest, they also begin the process of creating a PowerPoint presentation on the water cycle with a partner. Excellent resources are embedded in the plan such as: the PowerPoint presentation, the Water Cycle Web Quest, and a worksheet that guides them through the process.
Students study the water cycle. In this water cycle lesson, students examine how the water cycle works, what its functions are, and how to diagram it.
