Students explore Afro-American history. They identify the commonality between African, Carolinian and Cleveland Black culture. Students explore the water cycle, oceanography, hydrology and bio-geochemical processes. They discuss the...

Students create a terrarium to examine the stages of the water cycle. In small groups, they plant and water a seed in an enclosed plastic container. Each day they diagram and write observations of the terrarium using water cycle vocabulary.

Students investigate the concept of weather and how it is created. They review relevant vocabulary related to weather. Students predict weather given slight background knowledge. The lesson plan includes background information for the...

Fifth graders explore the water cycle. Students walk in a circle as a song plays. When the song stops, 5th graders answer questions about the picture on which they are standing. In groups, students draw pictures of the water cycle.

Students identify the changing states of water, water vapor and ice in the water cycle They investigate how each of these stages can be reversible. Students complete a worksheet describing the water cycle.

Students identify and describe the stages in the water cycle. Using plants, they determine if they play a role in the cycle and measure the water the plants give off. They complete an experiment to determine if deciduous or coniferous...

Students use common materials to construct a working model of the water cycle. They then observe and explain evaporation, condensation, precipitation and percolation as aspects of a continuing cycle. Students also complete worksheets and...

Students explore water bodies on the planet Earth and their various uses and qualities. They examine several ways that engineers are working to maintain and conserve water sources and think about their role in water conservation....

Pupils create a model to explore the water cycle. Students also perform different experiments to witness water changing from a liquid to a gas. Pupils are asked to if they can find ways for water to go away without pouring the water out.

Students create terrariums (mini rainforests). They observe and discuss the life processes that occur in their terrariums and how changes in these processes affect the plants and organisms inside. They collect and graph data and present...

Students examine the phases of the water cycle and water's different forms it can have. They work in groups to create pantomimes to illustrate the water cycle to their classmates.

Second graders explore how to identify cloud types by observing clouds. They record data and have fun by applying newly acquired knowledge throughout the curriculum.

Students bag trees to determine the mass of the water given off in the evapotranspiration process.

Learn about the different stages of the Earth's water cycle, and about processes involving water, including runoff, infiltration, and the differences between hard and soft water.

Despite seventy percent of the world's surface being covered with water, there is a potential shortage of this natural resource. Only a small percentage is fresh water and much of that is inaccessible or threatened. Learn about fresh...

Join Anita, Dennis and Simon as they take a field trip to Willow Creek. This visit to the creek is slightly different than their first encounter there--discover why by reading this interesting tale!

This interactive tutorial discusses the flow of water on the surface and below the surface. You will learn about the causes and actions of wind, and how water and wind move sediment.

A massive amount of information about groundwater. Topics covered include groundwater basics, humans and groundwater, groundwater quality, and its place in the water cycle. Includes true-and-false quiz and a Q&A section, as well as a...

A quick summary of the water cycle that includes a diagram of the cycle, with links to in-depth explanations of each component of the cycle. Click "water-cycle home" to access water-cycle resources in a variety of languages.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] An introduction to the biogeochemical cycle, the water cycle. Recognize evaporation, sublimation, and condensation. Identify groundwater and runoff water supplies.

Fourth graders will write a story about how a drop of water may have traveled to arrive at the school.

These activities will help students understand the properties of water.

This textbook chapter looks at the role of temperature in sustaining life on Earth and on weather and climate. It discusses the Earth's movements and the seasons, the circulation of the oceans, wind and weather, and the water cycle....

Do you ever wonder what happens when a cloud gets too full? Find out in this easy and fun experiment.
