Water Cycle


This week the students are learning about the water cycle. In this lesson they are expected to describe and illustrate the water cycle.

The stages of the water cycle are:
  • Evaporation
  • Transpiration
  • Condensation
  • Precipitation

The round and round it goes activity lets you click on the different parts of the water cycle so you can learn more about each step in the cycle. This site also has a quiz, word search, and a poem that you can do after you finish going over the steps!

In the water cycle game you do the steps in order of the water cycle and review the terms evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. At the end you put the terms where they belong in the water cycle.

If you want to learn about the water cycle more in depth there is a fun game and presentation at the water cycle site.

You can build your own water cycle! Thirstin's water cycle activity will show you how to make your own water cycle and you can watch how it works in real life!
