Students experience and participate in "Riding the Water Cycle" with this lesson. They explore, analyze and study the role of reservoirs in maintaining a reliable supply of drinking water. Each student constructs a model of a reservoir.

Students investigate how water goes from a solid to a liquid then back again.  For this experimental lesson students conduct their own experiment and see how water changes form. 

Students explore the three forms of water and observe how it changes from a solid to a liquid to a gas. The concepts of condensation, evaporation and the introduction to the water cycle form the basis of this lesson.

Students listen to a read aloud about African animals as they access a watering hole. They discuss the characteristics of Africa such as the temperature, it distance from the students, and lifestyle of the animals. They talk about how...

Make a splash with an interactive storybook that emphasizes water safety. Directed at preschoolers and primaries, the ducky tale and games reinforce the rules of wearing a life vest whenever near water, making sure to have a supervising...

Learners identify ways to conserve water. In this environmental lesson, students use a water use checklist to identify how much water they use in one day. Learners analyze the data and brainstorm ways to conserve water.

After learning why it is important to limit salt, fat, and sugar in their diets, divide your class into pairs or groups to complete this project. Each group will create two charts: unhealthy and healthy foods. They will cut out food...

Students experiment with the cohesion of water molecules. In this surface tension instructional activity, students estimate how many drops of water a full glass can take before overflowing. They watch a video that explains water molecules.

Students learn about the history of Indiana's water and understand how easily pollution can contaminate the water supply. They also learn how little fresh water we have and how important it is to protect it.

Students perform experiments in pairs to visualize the changes in water during freezing and melting. In this properties of water lesson, students use their senses and inquiry tools to understand the changes in state of water. Suggested...

Students explore the water cycle. In this earth science lesson, 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...

Young scholars are introduced to the water cycle and water movement in soil. In this water cycle lesson, students explore how water moves through the water cycle and discuss water sources, natural reservoirs, soil...

Students examine water samples assess the quality of each sample by examining the color/clarity, smell, pH, etc. of each Then they filter the water samples once and assess water quality a second time. finally they filter the samples a...

Students explore water. In this water absorbency lesson, students experiment with different items to see if they absorb water. Students record their findings on a data sheet. Students then try making music with drinking glasses...

Learners perform an experiment to discover what happens to water as it evaporates. In this early childhood lesson plan, students observe evaporation as they conduct an experiment. Learners fill cups with water, then check it daily for...

Students use NASA photographs and hands-on activities to compare the amounts of land and water on our planet. They discover that the world has five oceans and that they cover seventy percent of Earth's surface. Students learn how this...

Students predict, experiment, and draw conclusions about the safety of drinking water. In this ecology lesson plan, students participate in an experiment to determine if they can taste or see contamination in drinking water. Data is...

Students examine the changes as water goes from solid to liquid. In this states of matter lesson, students observe and record the changes to water as it changes from solid to liquid and back to solid.

Students examine where water is found in the world, how we use it, and the various forms it takes. They observe the refraction of light through a prism, record the day and night sky over a week's time, and create a topographic model of...

Students explore water located near where they live. In this map skills maritime instructional activity, students use Google Maps to find their school and the body of water closest to them. Students research the body of water and answer...

Students conduct an experiment on the stages of the Water Cycle.  In this water cycle lesson, students view the materials needed for the experiment and brainstorm how they relate to the Water Cycle.  Students conduct an...
