Students engage in a instructional 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...

Students create water cycle stories. In this water cycle lesson, students review the parts of the water cycle. They create a story that describes the journey of a water molecule as it makes its way through the cycle and into different...

Students investigate the water cycle. In this water cycle lesson, students create an ecosystem within a 2-liter bottle. Students record scientific observations as they observe the water cycle within their ecosystem.

You've heard of farm to table ... but what about farm in classroom? Junior agriculturalists embark upon a two-week journey into the science of growing things. Based upon the classic terrarium in a two-liter experiment, the activity goes...

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

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.

Seventh graders discover how water circulates through the earth and its atmosphere while determine how much of the Earth's water is suitable for drinking. They discover the meaning of evaporation, transpiration, and precipitation and...

Students complete a WebQuest. In this water cycle instructional activity, students investigate the cycle through a WebQuest activity. Students research the water cycle through Internet resources and create a documentary video of their...

Students answer short answer questions about the water cycle and other cycles. In this water cycle lesson plan, students explore clouds, rain, evaporation, and more.

First graders identify the different stages in the hydrologic cycle. To study earth science, they investigate how sunlight affects the earth's temperature. They also discuss how the sun's energy is transformed.

Learners complete activities to examine the properties of water. In this water science instructional activity, students read a book about water's forms and study a map or globe of the Earth to investigate water. Learners discuss living...

Third graders investigate water formations by conducting an experiment. In this water properties lesson, 3rd graders utilize pie tins, sponges and salt shakers to create an evaporation and saturation experiment. Students collaborate in...

Student learns about the life cycle of plants by watching a time-lapse video. This activity provides learners with further evidence that all living things grow and change as they progress through their life cycle. Student conducts a...

Second graders study Earth's materials. For this air and weather lesson, 2nd graders note changes in the weather and examine tools that help us study the weather. Students analyze how changes in the environment make changes in the...

Students canvass the water cycle in the seven lessons of this unit. The processes of the water cycle and the cyclical nature of water is emphasized inthis unit.

Students conduct various experiments to investigate plant transpiration. In this biology lesson, students explain how this process helps maintain the hydrologic cycle. They measure the rate of water loss in plants using a potometer.

Students observe and identify the changes that occur in the life cycle of a butterfly. They view photos of each stage of the life cycle, create an art project of the butterfly cycle, and illustrate a book titled "The Life of a Butterfly."

Students evaluate art to enhance their core knowledge of fiction, American folk heroes, and the water cycle. In this art lesson, students complete a unit of activities to use art to study various topics of literature, history, and...

Third graders discuss the sources of water, the path it takes to get to homes and businesses, and the ways we use water. Students begin by expanding their awareness of the hydrosphere as they research the water cycle, the sources of our...

Students investigate about cycles through games, shared readings and a shared writing activity. They play a game of Ring Around the Rosie to be introduced to the concept of "cycle."

Students study four samples of "rain water". They asked to determine the pH of the samples and then to neutralize them. Students are asked to predict any negative effects which might be associated with water having a low pH and to...

Fourth graders investigate the life cycle of a tree by researching the Internet.  In this plant life lesson plan, 4th graders observe The Life of a Tree website and discuss the life of a tree from sprout to death.  Students...

Students research about how lunar cycles affect living organisms. In this biology lesson plan, students prepare an oral presentation of their research results and analyses. They explore the forces that affect tides.
