Its time to introduce the water cycle! This presentation describes the water cycle in terms of condensation, evaporation, and precipitation. Five straightforward comprehension questions and easy to understand concept definitions make for...

Students demonstrate the steps of evaporation, cloud formation, and precipitation within the water cycle. They make and demonstrate how to use a hygrometer to record daily humidity and describe how rain, snow, and sleet form.

There's nothing like a sky full of big rain clouds to pique a child's imagination and wonder. Youngsters create their very own book about rain! A clever activity incorporating language arts, science, art, and rainy day games. Each pupil...

Perfect for children in pre-K through 1st grade, this presentation provides simplified information about the water cycle. While no academic language is used, the water cycle is fully represented in clear and easy-to-follow slides. This...

It's raining, it's pouring! Simulate the precipitation process with rope or hula hoop and assorted colored construction paper. This simple game should give young students a better understanding of how rain falls.

In this earth science worksheet, students read an article about the water cycle. Then they continue the story about the travels of a water droplet through time and space. Students also complete sentences by writing in the correct word...

Students take a quick examine part of the water cycle, and the combined gas laws. The lesson lead them through the conditions necessary for cloud formation and allow them to create clouds in three different hands-on activities.

Young scholars collect weather data over weeks, graph temperature data and compare the temperature data collected with averaged climate data where they live.

Students are asked what does rain do? They are told that rain waters the Earth, but also drops acid. Students are told when there is too much pollution in the atmosphere that the environment can't neutralize it, the acid leaches into...

In this composition of the air worksheet, students answer questions about the air, what it is composed of and the components of air such as the ozone layer, fog and rain.

In this seasons worksheet, students will write or draw what the weather is like during each of the 4 seasons in this graphic organizer.

Eighth graders study the effects of the water cycle. They create a graph of the air temperature versus solar radiation on a rainy and clear 24 hour period using data from a provided link. Afterward, they answer questions to determine the...

Students explore how climatic factors influence the growth of plants. They create an experiment to find how variations in water, light, and temperature affect plant growth and describe how precipitation and geography can affect the...

Students explore their feelings about rain through art, music, and poetry. They listen to music as they think about rain and determine how they feel about rain. Students create either poetry or artwork about as they listen to music...

Pupils examine relief maps of California and discuss the San Francisco Bay watershed. Discussion continues with the class helping complete a journey of water through seasons in a "finish my sentences" style lecture. They label rain...

Students explore about one of the many products created by gain-based process. They investigate the ways agriculture can protect and preserve the environment. Pupils use their scientific processing skills to conduct a full inquiry based...

Students collect water samples from around your home and school, check the pH level of each water sample, and record the pH levels in a chart that looks something like this:

This site defines precipitation, and uses diagrams to tell about relief, convectional, and frontal rainfall.

In this multi-day, students will learn weather through multisensory approaches. Students will make daily predictions. After each daily prediction, they will collect measurement and observational data by taking walks in different types of...

This site from Ibiblio.org provides a short biography and examples of some of the well-known works of master artist J.M.W. Turner (1775-1851 CE).

See how having a record year of rainfall could affect our world, in both big ways and small.
