Here is a great way to get pupils to express a scientific concept in a fun way. After hearing the story of Walter the Water drop and learning facts about the water cycle, the class will write a creative expository piece describing what...

Students participate in a role play where they play clouds, the ocean, rain drops, and more in order to learn about the water cycle. In this water cycle lesson plan, students have discussions and learn vocabulary.

Identify and interpret the earth's different water sources. Third and fourth graders describe and demonstrate the process of the water cycle, make a model of its two main parts, and predict and infer to answer questions about the...

Rain, rain, go away—wait, there it is again! Elementary scientists learn how rain works its way through the stages of the water cycle with a series of classroom lessons and hands-on activities.

Students engage in a activity that investigates the hydrological cycle. They create bracelets with different colored beads that represent parts of the cycle. Students can follow the cycle in the order of the beads. The activity includes...

Elementary schoolers explore states of matter by concentrating on the ways in which water moves between its solid, liquid, and gaseous states in a variety of Earth environments. Learners interpret these movements through dance. The...

Third graders define and discuss evaporation, precipitation, condensation, and collection, color web pages to illustrate Water Cycle book, listen to stories about Water Cycle, play trivia game to demonstrate knowledge of what they...

Students create a desert biome and a prairie biome and see how plants survive in both. In this biomes lesson plan, studnets create their biomes and see how the water cycle effect each biome and plant differently. 

Third graders complete a unit of study about the water cycle using both print and Internet based resources. They examine fresh and salt water and complete an online quiz before developing a multimedia presentation highlighting the phases...

An excellent lesson on the water cycle! In it, learners should gain a general understanding of the water cycle, along with how water first falls as precipitation, then ends up coming out of our faucets. This lesson nicely integrates...

High schoolers identify the different stages in the water cycle. In this earth science activity, students calculate the residence time of water in oceans using a mathematical formula. They explain how this cycle regulates the Earth's...

Students simulate the water cycle. In this water cycle lesson, students create a model of the water cycle. Students draw the water cycle and write a paragraph explaining their drawing.

Students understand the water cycle through a role playing activity. In this water cycle instructional activity, students become familiar with the water cycle through a play about the water cycle. Students illustrate their parts and...

After a whole-class discussion of water reservoirs, ten liters of water are given to each lab group to represent Earth's total amount of water. They divide the water into smaller containers, each representing one of those reservoirs. The...

Students explore states of matter by concentrating on the ways in which water moves between its solid, liquid, and gaseous states in a variety of Earth environments familiar to the students. Students represent these movements in dance.

Students describe and review the stages in the water cycle. In groups, they build their own models of the water cycle and demonstrate where the water goes in a closed system. They answer discussion questions after the experiment to end...

Third graders observe the changes that occur in the water cycle after doing a water cycle demonstration in a plastic bag. In this water cycle lesson plan, 3rd graders reflect on what they see and identify the stages.

Learners develop a better understanding of the need to conserve our renewable resources.  In this water cycle lesson plan students take notes, complete a guide sheet and illustrate the water cycle. 

Fourth graders complete activities to study weather and the water cycle. For this water cycle lesson, 4th graders observe a demonstration of the three stages of water. Students work in groups to complete a water cycle lab activity....

Students study the path and forms of water through Earth. In this water cycle lesson, students role-play water as it moves throughout the Earth. Students play the water cycle game and complete various stations to learn about water forms...

Students discuss the steps of the water cycle. They create their own model of the water cycle. They complete the Family Page at the end of the lesson.

Fourth graders study the water cycle in nature. In this water cycle lesson, 4th graders review the hydrologic cycle by reading the poem. Students then study a picture of the hydrologic cycle and fill in the blanks with the missing...

Students study the stages of the water cycle and evaporation. In this water cycle activity, students read Water Cycles and color a diagram of the water cycle. Students review related terms and sing a song about the Water Cycle. Students...

Students conduct a series of investigations on the unique properties of water. In this general science lesson, students explain what causes water's surface tension. They explain the different stages in the water cycle.
