After reviewing the water cycle, zoom in on a raindrop and learn about the physics determining its shape. See actual footage of raindrops falling with high-speed photography! A written description of the same information is also provided on the website. Though this isn't something you may typically teach your middle schoolers, it can be a refreshing enhancement to your water cycle lessons. Make sure to explain the properties of polar water molecules that create cohesion and surface tension.
