- Water moves through condensation, evaporation, and precipitation (rain and snow). It's stored in ice, snow, and the ground. Even magma contains water—volcanic eruptions bring water from deep in the earth to the surface. The atmosphere also transports and stores water molecules.

- Miniature Model Water Cycle. In the Make a Miniature Water Cycle Model activity, students make a model of the water cycle in a plastic bag and use it to explore how water moves in and out of the atmosphere in a cycle of precipitation, evaporation, and condensation.
- Model the Water Cycle. In the Make a Water Cycle Model lesson, students learn about the water cycle and investigate how this natural recycling system is powered by energy from the Sun and the force of gravity.
- Make a Cloud. In the Cumulus Maximus: Test WEATHER you can make your own cloud! activity, students explore cloud formation and the processes of vaporization and condensation by making a cloud in a jar.
- Harvesting Water from Fog. Fog is a kind of cloud that touches the ground. Like clouds that form higher in the atmosphere, fog contains moisture that has evaporated into the air and condensed.
Earth has been recycling water for 4 billion years! Learn about the water cycle right here at NG Kids with clear diagrams and pictures.
- Water Cycle Baggie. This idea is an oldie, but a goodie. Draw the water cycle on a ziplock bag, put some water at the bottom, then tape it to the window.
- Mini Water Cycle. Save those rotisserie chicken containers! I love this idea from Laura Candler to demonstrate the water cycle. Stop by Corkboard Connections to learn more.
- Oceans and the Water Cycle Notebook Foldable. To discuss and analyze the interaction between the sun and the ocean in the water cycle, I made this Ocean Notebook Freebie that can be found in my Oceans Unit.
- Water Cycle Simulation Cubes. This activity is a simulation game in which students move through the water cycle as a drop of water. Read more and get the link to the download in my blog post about the simulation cubes.
Mar 20, 2024 · The water cycle. Where does the water in your tap come from? To answer this question, students will need to know the key processes of the water cycle — and the continuous movement of water around the Earth. This video explains water cycle evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, infiltration and run-off.

Sep 17, 2019 · The water cycle (or hydrological cycle) describes the continuous movement of water on Earth. The warming of water from the Sun causes the evaporation of liquid water molecules into water vapour that moves up into the atmosphere.
The movement of water throughout Earth can be understood as a cycle where H 2 0 moves from one state of matter to another. Use these standards-aligned resources to teach about condensation, precipitation, and weather patterns that are affected by, and a part of, the water cycle.
This lesson plan is intended for teachers to use with their upper elementary and middle school students to learn about the water cycle and the forces that drive it. The emphasis in this lesson will be on having students understand the processes that take place in moving water through Earth’s system.
