This resource presents a simple set of instructions for building a model of the water cycle in a lidded jar.

Young scholars will listen to a story about the water cycle, observe how water droplets form on a glass of icy water, then draw and label a picture showing condensation.

This simple overview provides definitions of key terms in the water cycle and a diagram showing the path water takes in this cycle.

An illustrated diagram of the water cycle that students can use for study.

Kids learn more about the science of the Earth's water cycle. How water moves around our planet.

In this activity, students will learn about the water cycle through a story, a song, and a game, and relate it to the weather that they observe.

For this activity, students construct a terrarium in a bottle, and observe it over time to see when it 'rains,' which will indicate the completion of a water cycle.

This animation discusses the water cycle in a storybook format using the character Drippy. All the stages of the water cycle are covered.

[Free Registration/Login Required] This is a science flipchart that reviews the stages of the water cycle and also ways in which the water cycle affects weather such as hurricanes and tornadoes.

This animation, in a storybook format, discusses water and the water cycle.

An explanation of the water cycle.

[Free Registration/Login Required] In this lesson students study the phases of the water cycle.

[Free Registration/Login Required] This is an activity flipchart that asks students to label the various phases of the water cycle.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Using this flipchart students study the phases of the water cycle and its importance to the earth. Assessment questions use Activotes.

Water water everywhere. Check out this video clip and test understanding about the cycle of water from the earth to the atmosphere.

Through pictures, diagrams, and charts, learn how the ocean serves as a storehouse of water.

This StudyCards stack enables students to review the vocabulary associated with weather.

Explains three forces of nature and how they impact the weather. These include infrared rays from the sun, differences in air pressure, and wind flow when hot and cold air masses meet. Supported by lots of visuals.

Students learn about the Earth's water cycle, especially about evaporation. Once a dam is constructed, its reservoir becomes a part of the region's natural hydrologic cycle by receiving precipitation, storing runoff water and evaporating...

How do you show students that the water cycle is more than just the traditional model of the ocean, clouds, and mountains and actually a part of their daily lives? This video will show multiple models of different part of the water cycle...

Water is the source of life on earth. It exists in many forms and is constantly changing. The circulation and conservation of earth's water is called the hydrologic (or water) cycle. Find out how water evaporates, condensates,...

This video/lesson series explains how the structure and behavior of H2O in liquid form gives water its properties, and make it a chemical essential for life. Also in this collection: a Victorian-era depiction of the water molecule; news...

A collection of resources--pictures, maps, data, glossary--about water and the water cycle.
