Fifth graders create a cloud jar so that they can observe that clouds are made of tiny droplets of water. After observing the cloud jar, they record their observations on a worksheet in written form explaining that clouds are made of...

Fifth graders explore the water cycle. Students walk in a circle as a song plays. When the song stops, 5th graders answer questions about the picture on which they are standing. In groups, students draw pictures of the water cycle.

In this worksheet on the water cycle, students read a short passage about the water cycle, located beneath a graphic organizer showing the cycle in pictures with labels.

Learn about the water cycle through the adventures of two sisters. They will explain how the sun powers the water cycle and describe the different states of water. A glossary and labeled illustrations accompany the video. For the...

Water water everywhere. Check out this video clip and test understanding about the cycle of water from the earth to the atmosphere.

In this science activity, students investigate the water cycle by testing the water evaporated from leaves (transpiration). They investigate concepts of evaporation and the movement of water through the different states of the water...

Students apply their understanding of the natural water cycle and the urban stormwater water cycle, as well as the processes involved in both cycles to hypothesize how the flow of water is affected by altering precipitation.

Create a water cycle story and storyboard.

See how the processes of condensation and evaporation occur.

Students learn about the Earth's water cycle, especially about evaporation. Once a dam is constructed, its reservoir becomes a part of the region's natural hydrologic cycle by receiving precipitation, storing runoff water and evaporating...

Explains the different stages in the water cycle while covering important vocabulary. Supported by lots of visuals and includes a good water cycle animation.

This online textbook chapter discusses dynamic equilibrium between liquids and gases, boiling liquids, and particle attractions. Many pictures help to explain the concepts. Also find a detailed chapter review at the end to check for...

This 14-page document contains advanced information about Bose-Einstein condensation, providing historical background for the topic and explaining how BEC was demonstrated in 1995 by research laboratories. Requires ."pdf," software to...

In a class demonstration, students observe a simple water cycle model to better understand its role in pollutant transport. This activity shows one way in which pollution is affected by the water cycle; it simulates a point source of...

Hyperlinked diagram provides an in-depth explanation of each phase of the Earth's water cycle.

This study guide reviews the main ideas in the liquids chapter in this online textbook. Includes a chapter map, goals, a checklist, and answers to the chapter review.

This presentation, available in .pdf format, about liquids includes a chapter map, main ideas, and many pictures to help understand the chapter. Detailed charts go along well with the information.

Gives a brief introduction to Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC) and how it was demonstrated at a laboratory at the NIST.

In the science lab, students will create and observe the conditions necessary to make a cloud in a bottle.

Students will listen to a story about the water cycle, observe how water droplets form on a glass of icy water, then draw and label a picture showing condensation.

A page describing (in part) the distinction between energy, temperature and heat. Includes a graphic illustrating the quantity of energy needed to transform water between various states. Methods of thermal energy transfer (convection,...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In the following online tutorial students will describe a liquid according to the kinetic-molecular theory. They will also learn how a liquid exhibits surface...

This overview of liquids explores what a liquid is and how matter becomes changes into a liquid.

This ZOOMSci video segment shows how to create self-contained environments and explore how plants grow under different conditions. [3:24]
