2. The Water Cycle Deb Maupin AET/541 E-Learning Carla Saunders

3. Notes: Screen will show a rain video with a title overlaid in the middle. Short introduction to be included. Animation (yes or no): no Text/Audio Narration: We often take water for granted. We don’t think about where it came from, or where it is going. In this series of lessons we will explore where water comes from, where it goes, and how it never really goes away. We will learn about the water cycle. Title: Water Everywhere Scene: Video of rain and title overlay Graphics (yes or no) : yes Audio (yes or no): yes Slide number: 2 Skill or Concept: Title slide (none) WATER EVERYWHERE

4. Notes: The first slide will be an introduction to the idea of water as an important factor of weather in each of the four seasons. Students will see 4 pictures showing the 4 phases of water in precipitation and be presented with the question, where does it go? Students will match the words for each form of precipitation with their picture. Photos are animated. Prior knowledge of solids liquids and gases is essential. Animation (yes or no): yes Text/Audio Narration: What kinds of things do you see in the pictures. (Rain, sleet, snow, and hail.) Students may need help identifying sleet and hail as well as some defining of these terms. Once they know that they each show, ask……what do we call these things? (precipitation) where does it all go? Discuss where this water goes once it lands on Earth. Introduce the word precipitation and have students record it before moving on to the next slide. Define precipitation in logs and record 4 kinds. Title:Water Everywhere Scene (opening page): Four Seasons weather Graphics (yes or no) : yes Audio (yes or no): yes Slide number: 3 Skill or Concept: The Water Cycle Water, water, everywhere!! Precipitation rain sleet snow hail

5. Notes: This slide will take the 4 kinds of precipitation and explain where all the water goes. Students will learn key vocabulary terms that are highlighted by blue type. Diagram of run-off and percolation is shown to help explain that water travels. Students will write the vocabulary terms in their notebooks along with a definition/explanati on. Animation (yes or no): yes Text/Audio Narration: Opening verbage to be read by learner. Diagram to be explained and students will review what the forms of precipitation are that may fall. When explaining diagram be sure to include term “percolation” as it is not on the diagram. Volunteer to read next section then clarify confusion/explain and then have students write notes in notebook about “blue words”. Title:Water Everywhere Scene: Where water goes Graphics (yes or no) : yes Audio (yes or no): No Slide number: 4 Skill or Concept: The Water Cycle Water comes down, BUT where does it go? Precipitation falls from the sky and may RUN OFF to COLLECT in streams, rivers, lakes, or other bodies of water. Some of the water will PERCOLATE into the soil and eventually make its way to underground water. Even this water eventually makes it back to streams, rivers, lakes, and the other bodies of water. We call all of this collecting of water ACCUMULATION.

6. Notes: Students will be asked to think about why the Earth doesn’t flood if it’s always receiving precipitation. Students will learn water is also always evaporating because of energy from the sun. Students will watch a video then discuss evaporation and define it. This digital format will be followed up with an outdoor activity of “painting water” and watching it evaporate on different substances. (Predicting faster, slower, etc.) Animation (yes or no): no Text/Audio Narration: After the first section – Discuss why we don’t have water that is constantly rising. Remind students of what they learned about the energy from the sun earlier this year. Explain that the energy from the sun plays an important role here too! It is constantly heating water and causing it to change from a liquid to a gas that rises into the air as water vapor. (It is now part of an invisible gas.) Title: Water Everywhere Scene: Video clip about evaporation Graphics (yes or no) : yes Audio (yes or no): yes Slide number: 5 Skill or Concept: The Water Cycle If precipitation is always landing on Earth, why isn’t the Earth flooded all over???? The energy from the sun is constantly heating the water on Earth. As it does, it causes the water to evaporate and turn from a liquid to a gas. Let’s watch a quick video to further explain evaporation. Evaporation is the changing of a liquid to a gas. Once water has evaporated it is called water vapor. Water vapor consists of TINY particles of water within the air. The more water vapor in the air, the more humid it is outside. That’s how we measure humidity.

7. Notes: Condensation. Students will learn how water vapor condensates to form the clouds we see in the sky. Key vocabulary words are printed in blue to be copied into their science logs. Animation (yes or no): yes Text/Audio Narration: Take time to discuss the question in opening of screen. Explain that as the water vapor rises it cools and as it cools it comes back together to make larger water droplets. We see these when they get large enough to form clouds. It is when those clouds get too heavy that they give us PRECIPITATION and we are back where we stated! Title: Water Everywhere Scene: Clouds in the sky Graphics (yes or no) : yes Audio (yes or no): yes Slide number: 6 Skill or Concept: Condensation So, if the water is evaporating, where does it go? Once the water vapor rises into the air it cools. As it cools it condenses and turns back into tiny water droplets. These droplets collect together to form CLOUDS! It is when these clouds get too heavy that we get precipitation and the cycle starts all over again! Click on picture to view video

8. Notes: Review page. Students will choose 1 of 4 options to review or quiz themselves on the water cycle. Animation (yes or no): yes Text/Audio Narration: You have learned about all the stages of the water cycle. Now it is your turn to demonstrate what you have learned. While some of you may be choosing online activities, some others will be completing a model, and another group will be conducting and experiment to make a cloud in a jar. We will rotate through stations so that everyone has a turn to complete all the activities.

9. Notes: This page activity allows students to use their imagination to incorporate art into science class. This meets our school’s mission to provide arts integrated lessons. Animation (yes or no): no Text/Audio Narration: You will now be grouped into teams to create an artistic interpretation of the water cycle. Please do not let the example limit your imagination. We will work on team presentations for several class periods, then perform and record them. Keep important artistic elements that we have discussed in mind as you prepare. (Voice, body language, use of space, and facial expressions.) Title: Water Everywhere Scene: Bubble background demo video Graphics (yes or no) : yes Audio (yes or no): no Slide number: 8 Skill or Concept: Artistic Interp. Your team assignment. You will work as a group to create a song, play, puppet show, or rap about the water cycle. Watch this sample and then retrieve your group assignment from the teacher.
