Water Cycle Walk
Pupils investigate the water cycle. In this water cycle lesson, students listen to a song as they walk around and when they music stops, they answer a question based on the water cycle.
Curated OER
Water Cycle Walk
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.

Dissolving and Back Again
From solid to liquid and then back again. Young scientists dissolve salt in water and then evaporate the water while observing what happens to the solute. They use their observations to make predictions about other solutions.
University of Wisconsin
Conjunction Function
As part of a unit, this lesson familiarizes youngsters with components of a rain garden. They speculate about the role of an assigned component in contributing to a rain garden, and ultimately, in the health of the local watershed. Each...
