Teaching the Water Cycle to the Younger Droplets

You have just returned from your journey and are scheduled be a guest speaker next week in Miss Drop's Water Cycle class. Are you ready …

You must decide how you are going to teach the little droplets about the water cycle. Your options are:

• To write and illustrate a water cycle brochure to share with the class

• Share your 3-day travel journal with the class.

• Make a poster of the water cycle for the little drops to hang in their classroom.

Write and illustrate a brochure:

• The cover must have a title and picture

• Make each section about one of the three stages of the water cycle: evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.

• Remember to include a picture and tell your story through each stage in the cycle.

• On the back sections of your pamphlet, draw a large picture of the entire water cycle, labeling the stages and/or write a paragraph about the water cycle.

A 3-Day Travel Journal:

• Write your journal as if you spent one day at each of the three stages in the water cycle: evaporation, condensation, & precipitation. For each day write at least one paragraph for each of the three days of your trip.

• Write each stage in the form of a journal entry including details that show what you know about what happens at each stage of the cycle.

A Water Cycle Poster:

• Draw a picture that shows the three stages of the water cycle. Be sure to label each stage with the appropriate term.
