The Water Cycle
Fifth graders investigate evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. They observe a water cycle kit and record their observations, and examine how water condenses on the outside of a cup. Next, they observe an evaporation...
Curated OER
Evaporation Introductory Lesson
Fourth graders examine the concepts of evaporation and the water cycle. They describe the relationship between heat energy, evaporation and condensation of water on Earth and identify the sun as the source of energy that evaporates...
Curated OER
Evaporation
Fourth graders study the water cycle and the different processes involved, specifically evaporation. They explore the processes of evaporation through hands-on collaborative activities and relate learning to life through...

Water Cycle
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...
Curated OER
Water Cycle Activity
Students build a model and observe the cycle of evaporation and condensation that occurs in the water cycle. They see how the water cycle works, such as water condensing on the side of the jar and drops precipitating into rain that...
Curated OER
The Water Cycle and Sources of Pollution
Students make an island that has a construction site on it. They spill siulated pollution and trash on top of the island and then water it to simulate rain. They will observe how the rain washes dirt, sand, and pollution off the island...

It's Clean, Fresh and only Three Billion Years Old - Water!
Students engage in a lesson which explores the wate cycle. They get to see some very entertaining video, do fun hands-on activities and gain a better understanding of evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection.
Curated OER
Capillary Action and Adhesion
Young scholars perform classroom experiments to observe adhesion. They perform a second experiment using sand, salt, water, and a heat lamp to observe the principle of capillary action. They also experiment with adhesion in plants.
Curated OER
Temperature Change and the States of Matter
Tenth graders observe the processes of evaporation, condensation, melting, freezing, boiling, and sublimation. They do a quantitative investigation of the freezing of water, to explore explanations that involve particles.
Curated OER
Water Magic
Young scholars conduct experiments with ice, water and steam to observe the water cycle. They discuss substances that water accumulates from the Earth as it moves through its cycle.

Water Cycle: Social Studies Online
If you need a presentation that describes the 3 elements of the water cycle then this PowerPoint could be a good starting point. This resource is basic in its presentation and formating, and only defines the words evaporation,...
Curated OER
Clouds and Rain
Students study how clouds form, what different types there are and what rain is. In this atmospheric lesson students make a cloud and create evaporation.
Curated OER
Survival Still
Students explain how to desalinate water using solar energy. In this solar instructional activity students complete a lab activity and explain capillary water.
Curated OER
Water, Water Everywhere
Young scholars recognize that all of the water on earth cannot be used for drinking and that the percentage of ground and surface water is a small percentage. In this water lesson plan students identify ways to conserve water.
Curated OER
Water Cycle
Learners observe an example of evaporation and study the water cycle. In this research lesson plan students simulate a cloud formation and create a model of the water cycle.
Curated OER
The Water Cycle
Students explore the water cycle. In this water cycle lesson, students experiment with a variety of activities to discover what happens during the water cycle. Students create their own animated versions of the water cycle using...
Curated OER
Charting Evaporation
Students observe the concept of evaporation. In this evaporation lesson plan, students observe this by either charting as the sun evaporates water over time, or watching a boiling pot steam.
Curated OER
Evaporation
In this evaporation learning exercise, students follow direction to complete an evaporation experiment with paint, water, and a paper towel. Students follow 5 directions and answer 3 questions.
Curated OER
Water, Water, Everywhere and Always on the Move
Middle schoolers create their own water cycle in a terrarium. In this water cycle lesson, students research the water cycle and complete a worksheet using the Internet. They create a water cycle of their own in a jar with stones, sand,...
Curated OER
The Water Cycle
Young scholars conduct experiments involving different parts of the water cycle. In this water cycle lesson, students conduct five simple experiments to demonstrate how the water cycle works. The results of each experiment is discussed...
