3. WATER SCIENCE

4. Explain the water cycle and groundwater,
Water Science
Unit learning goals:
Explain the water cycle and groundwater,
the factors that affect water quality,
and ways to improve water usage.

5. Water
Discuss at your table all the ways you can think of that you use water.
Create a list of the
top three your group
agrees on.

6. What’s on the list? Likely you thought of water for… Drinking Bathing
But did you think of…
Water needed for growing crops?
Water used in engineering processes, like in factories, cleaning, manufacturing?
Water for transportation, like by ship?
Water returned to the ground, so we don’t run out of water?
What’s on the list?
Likely you thought of water for…
Drinking
Bathing
Cleaning things
Swimming/water sports

7. Set up for Two-Column Notes
Narrow column on the left for headings
Wider column on the right for notes

8. Three States of Water
Liquid – water
Solid – ice
Gas – vapor or steam

9. Rain in the Classroom
Watch this video clip about how to make it rain in the classroom!

10. Water Cycle
Water circulates between the earth’s oceans, atmosphere, and land,
through evaporation, condensation and precipitation.

11. Sketch of the Water Cycle
Follow along as we sketch and label the parts of the Water Cycle.

12. Importance of heat from the sun
Water + heat vapor (by evaporation)
Vapor – heat water (by condensation)

13. Check for Understanding!
Use these signals: rising fingers = EVAPORATION, shiver = CONDENSATION, sprinkling fingers =PRECIPITATION.
A bowl of water left out is empty 2 days later.
A bottle of ice water is covered in little drops an hour after filling.
Northern states get a huge blizzard of snow.
The cupboard above a boiling kettle has drops of water form on it.
A pot of soup has steam rising from it on the stove.
Icicles melting drop water on people’s heads below.

14. Video Clip Watch this clip from Discovery Education, The Water Cycle.
Think about:
Ways we use water
How water moves through nature
Can we create more water if we run out?

15. Practice – Water Cycle Poster
Name/period # in TOP RIGHT CORNER.
Draw, color and label the water cycle. Include the following:
Evaporation
Condensation
Precipitation
Water (liquid)
Ice crystals (solid)
Water vapor (gas)

16. Add these words…
Accumulation
Runoff
Transpiration
