Water Changes and Moves

The Alaskan wilderness contains every imaginable element of the water cycle: it has flowing streams, cool spring rain, and frozen glaciers. Pupils use a series of worksheets to identify and define evaporation, condensation, and...

Make a splash with young scientists as you teach them all about water using this activity packet. Thirstin, a cartoon glass of water, walks children through the water treatment process, teaches them about different sources of water, and...

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.

Water water everywhere. Thanks to the water cycle, Earth is covered in water. Watch a video that explains how water changes throughout the water cycle.

Investigate the water cycle and how water moves from the land to the air and back to the land. Create a terrarium and observe the water cycle at work. Define weather terms including evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.

Explore a day in the life of a water droplet. An interactive infographic helps scholars learn how water cycles work from precipitation all the way around to condensation. Learners hover over each step of the cycle to read more as they...

In this lesson students are required to observe a simple model of the water cycle constructed of sand and ice in a plastic shoe box.

This animation from NASA visualizes the steps of the water cycle, including precipitation, evaporation, transpiration, and condensation. [0:52]

Students explore the states of water. In this science lesson, students use observation, measurement, and communication skills to describe water as it changes from a solid to a liquid.

Students discover the forms water can take. In this hands-on science lesson, students examine how water can change from a solid to a liquid and then back again.
