Water Cycle Unit Introduction

This easy-to-perform demonstration shows students how the water cycle, specifically the processes of condensation and evaporation, purifies Earth's water supply. Just mix up some water, dirt, and gravel in a glass bowl, place a cup in...

Small groups place sand and ice in a covered box, place the box in the sunlight, then observe as evaporation, condensation, and precipitation occur. These models serve as miniature water cycles and demonstrations of the three phases of...

The basic elements of the water cycle and how water is recycled through our environment is focused on in this lesson. Your students construct classroom terrariums and learn to make and record observations relating to the water cycle....

Students investigate the water cycle by performing a simple hands-on activity using a plastic container, plastic cup, a rock, and a reflector lamp. They observe the model and measure the water level from time to time.

Explore the water cycle in all aspects with a resource packed full of activities and lessons. The 37-page packet comes with vocabulary, a game, writing prompts, printables, and opportunities to journey through the stages in the water...

Dive into an exploration of the water cycle cycle with this simple earth science instructional activity. After first discussing where rain comes from, young scientists define the terms condensation, evaporation, transpiration,...

Young scientists transform themselves into rivers, oceans, clouds, and drops of water in order to explore the water cycle. After assigning and explaining to students their different roles in the activity, the teacher reads aloud a...

A guide for covering the water cycle in all aspects of your multi-disciplinary class. Identify and explain natural cycles of the Earth's land, water and atmospheric systems (e.g., rock cycle, water cycle, weather patterns). The ideas...

Using a song and PowerPoints, pupils learn about the water cycle in honor of Earth Day. In this innovative look at the water cycle, they watch PowerPoints about this topic and analyze what they have learned. Afterward, they create a...

Explore all things water cycle in a truly engaging interactive. Water enthusiasts look at water as a system. They label the parts of the water cycle as they learn about them in a hands on activity, and then participate in a game where...
