Weather and the Water Cycle
Second graders discover the causes of different types of weather. They draw pictures of the water cycle steps and answer worksheet questions. Students observe teacher-conducted demonstrations exemplifying condensation and evaporation.
Curated OER
Watercycle
Third graders examine the natural circulation of water from oceans, lakes, and rivers to evaporation into the air, and then to condensation to produce rain falling back to the soil as components of the water cycle.
