Fourth graders create a biome of their choosing in a terrarium. Terrariums are observed and results recorded daily for 2 weeks. They observe/record changes in the water within their terrarium and use the data to write sentences...

Fifth graders study the weather and water cycle of clouds. In this water cycle lesson, 5th graders read background information about evaporation, condensation, and the states of water.

In this water instructional activity, students review the steps involved in the water cycle. This instructional activity has 9 fill in the blank and 3 short answer questions.

Students study the process of evaporation.

Students participate in an activity in which they demonstrate how the evaporations of water from the oceans results in fresh water in the form of rain. They create a saltwater solution in a flask and boil the water until most of the...

Fourth graders explore and discuss the process of evaporation. They discuss how wet things become dry. Students observe the process of evaporation and they make predictions about the observations they make about evaporation. Students...

Students explore the water cycle. In this earth science lesson plan, students observe and measure water in a closed container and in an open container. Students record their observations and compare their sets of data to draw conclusions...

Students experiment with a solar still. In this distillation lesson, students find a simple way to use evaporation to make salty water drinkable.

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.

Second graders work in small groups with a cup each of several materials. Students layer the gravel, sand, and water into a resealable bag. They draw a picture of this bag in their water journal. Students place their sealed bags in a...

Third graders explore the concept of evaporation as they observe how the water level changes in a cup that is left out. Working in groups they observe physical changes in a group of everyday items. They record the changes in shape, size,...

How can climate change affect our water supply? Have kids read a passage about the water cycle and water conservation, which includes six questions that challenge them to use context clues.

After having a class discussion on the three states of matter, young scientists utilize the wonderful substance, Oobleck in order to experience something that changes states of matter. They also create "sparkle jars" which...

In this water cycle worksheet, students learn about evaporation, condensation and precipitation by reading a text. Students then answer 12 multiple choice questions. This is an online interactive worksheet.

In this water cycle worksheet, students will write in a description for the 3 stages of the water cycle: evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. This worksheet is a graphic organizer.

Students describe the water cycle. Students identify the processess in the water cycle. They draw an illustration of the water cycel with arrows showing the path water takes through the cycle. Students label condesation, precipitation,...

In this water worksheet, students read a 1 page article on water, fill in the blanks of 3 words with their missing letters, fill in a crossword puzzle containing 5 clues about water and answer 1 short answer question. Students draw a...

High schoolers explain how to desalinate water using solar energy.  In this solar lesson students complete a lab activity and explain capillary water. 

Students investigate how temperature and pressure cause a material to change phase. They heat water to reclaim a gas. They demonstrate that different liquids evaporate at different temperatures.

Students watch and discuss observations of condensation on the plastic "sky" of the container. They draw a sketch of what they see and record their observations on the Its a Small World mini booklet. Sudents investigate evaporation...

Students explore the water cycle. In this earth science lesson plan, they read the book Water Dance by Thomas Locker and use an interactive whiteboard to review the water cycle with an interactive website.

Students elicit data on the water cycle, ocean topography, and island formation in this six lesson unit. The ocean floor and the properties of water are examined through a variety of discussions and hands-on experiments.

Second graders work in small groups with on cup each of warm and ice water. They observe the outsides of the cups. They exhale onto a small piece of mylar or mirrors and discuss the change in appearance. Students discuss where the foggy...

An excellent lesson on the water cycle! In it, learners should gain a general understanding of the water cycle, along with how water first falls as precipitation, then ends up coming out of our faucets. This lesson nicely integrates...
