Where Does Water Come From: The Water Cycle
Students explore the water cycle. In this water cycle lesson plan, students read the book The Magic School Bus Wet All Over and summarize the steps of the water cycle. Students label a picture map of the water cycle.
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 students identify ways to conserve water.
Curated OER
Evaporation in the Water Cycle
Students study the stages of the water cycle and evaporation. In this water cycle lesson, 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...
Curated OER
Solids and Water
Students investigate mixtures made of water and familiar solid materials. They observe and discuss the changes that occur immediately and set the mixtures aside for a day. Finally, students observe the mixtures, note changes, and graph...
Curated OER
Condensation and the Water Cycle
Students explore the natural distallation process that occurs in the water cycle. They use plastic cups and cotton swabs to observe the condensation process that is evident in the water cycle.
National Park Service
Erosion
A set of PowerPoint slides supports a lecture or class review of weathering and erosion. Viewers learn the definition of each and examine various photos for evidence. Erosion is further depicted as caused by wind, water, and ice....

The Water Cycle
Students explore the water cycle. In this earth science lesson plan, they read the book Water Dance by Thomas Locker and use an interactive whiteboard to review the water cycle with an interactive website.
Curated OER
The Water Cycle Bracelet
Students participate in a creative project in order to investigate the water cycle. They create a bracelet with different colored beads that represent the concept and the order of its occurrence. Students are evaluated according to the...
Curated OER
Water Filtration
Students design a filtration system using three filtration materials. In this water filtration lesson, students conduct an experiment with their filtration systems. Students present their systems to the class. Group results...
Curated OER
THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY
Learners describe the movement of water within the water cycle and identify the states of water as it moves through the water cycle.
Curated OER
Agriculture is a Cycle
Students explore cycles in nature. In this cross curriculum agriculture activity, students define "cycle" and research weather and planting folklore. Students make a bracelet in which individual colored beads represent the many "cycles"...
