Water: A Neverending Story
Students investigate the water cycle. In this water cycle science lesson, students participate in a series of activities that demonstrate evaporation, precipitation, and condensation. Students describe their observations using water...
Curated OER
Water Cycle
Students perform experiments with water to observe the principles of evaporation and condensation. They make models of the water cycle and discuss the processes that occurred in their experiments with their jars of water.
Curated OER
Water Magic
Students conduct experiments with ice, water and steam to observe the water cycle. They discuss substances that water accumulates from the Earth as it moves through its cycle.
Curated OER
Gases, Liquids And Solids
Students investigate how gases are different from solids and liquids and that they can evaporate and condense. They observe water boiling in a teapot and discuss what happens when the steam touches a cold window, complete an online Heat...
