I. RATIONALE:

This lesson aligns with the Arizona state standards.

II. OVERVIEW

Grade Level: 4th

Subject(s): Science

Topic of Study: Water Cycle

Time Allotment: 1 hour

Standards:

4.E1U3.9 Construct and support an evidence-based argument about the availability of water and its impact on life.

Objectives:

I can describe the water cycle and the key parts of the water cycle.

Teach students about the different parts of the water cycle (precipitation, condensation, and evaporation) and how the process is fueled by the energy of the sun using technology.

III. IMPLEMENTATION

Procedure:

1. Start with a basic class discussion about the water cycle. Ask students an opening question, such as: Where does rain come from? Where can water be found on the Earth? Why is water important?(verbal KWL) You will want to write/draw each step on the board in a cycle pattern to give the students a visual.

b. Ask students if they know what the three steps of the water cycle are: evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. (Vocab cards/pictures)

c. Evaporation occurs when water that is already on the earth is heated by the sun, changing it from a liquid to a gas known as water vapor.

d. After water evaporates, it rises into the air where it cools and gathers into clouds. This step is called condensation. Condensation occurs when water changes from a gas back into a liquid.

e. After water condenses, the next step of the water cycle is precipitation. This happens when water falls back to the earth. i. Ask students for examples of different types of precipitation: rain, snow, sleet, and hail.

f. Once the water has fallen back to the ground, it’s heated again by the sun and the cycle continues.
i. Ask students how they use water. Answers include: drinking, helps plants grow, showering, cooking things in it, etc.
ii. Ask students why the water cycle is important. We all need and use water. 2. Have students create a model of the water cycle in a bag. Follow the steps outlined on the dōTERRA® Science for Kids water cycle experiment page.

Technology Integration: (Describe how students and the teacher will use technology throughout the lesson)

Quiz (Flocabulary)

Differentiated Instruction:

Cognitive delay: Students can write or verbally share the learned part of the KWL chart.
Gifted: Students can participate in the vocab game and Lyric Lab on their flocabulary accounts.
ELL: Vocab cards consisting of their drawings, a definition, an image, and how they would use it in a sentence.

IV. ASSESSMENT

· Procedure:

Flocabulary Quiz: Students will complete the 10 question quiz and the whole class would go over each question as a class.
