Content Area: Science Grade Level: 5 th Summary: The purpose of this instructional PowerPoint is to have the students understand that to constantly replenish the most important natural resource needed for all living things to exist which is water. Learning Objective: Given websites that contain facts and information about the Water Cycle, the students will need to interpret the material within the websites to answer the questions within the PowerPoint with 100% accuracy. Content Standard: 0507.Inq.1 Identify specific investigations that could be used to answer a particular question and identify reasons for this choice. Accomplishment: To develop an initial understanding of the water cycle and how it works and the importance.

Facts: Go to this website to explore about the water cycle The water cycle describes the movement of water throughout Earth's surface, atmosphere, and underground. Water is constantly moving from one place to another through the processes of evaporation, precipitation, transpiration, condensation, and runoff. Water in the water cycle can exist as a solid, liquid, or gas. The water cycle is very important to life on Earth.

Videos Watch this video The Water Cycle at the website provided below on this slide. You will need to take notes from the selected videos to help with questions later in this lesson. ( Note: The video may be paused to take quality notes if you feel the video is going too fast.

Facts: Explore this website to gain more information about the water cycle. - The video included on the website will also be helpful in gaining more information.

Question What is the process by which water evaporates from plant leaves into the atmosphere ? A.CondensationCondensation B.EvaporationEvaporation C.TranspirationTranspiration D.PrecipitationPrecipitation

Oops! Wrong answer

Well Done! Let’s move to the next questionnext question

Wrong Answer ! Evaporation is the changing of a liquid into a gas, often under the influence of heat.

Wrong Answer! Precipitation is the falling products of condensation in the atmosphere, as rain, snow, or hail.

Condensation is water that collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it. Wrong Answer!

True or False When the clouds get too heavy from collecting water, they release it through a process called precipitation. A. TrueTrue B. FalseFalse

Very Good !

Wrong Answer! When the condensing droplets that form the cloud get large and heavy enough to overcome the upward pressure of convection, they begin to fall which causes precipitation.

Summary In this lesson, the students learned that the water cycle is the movement of water throughout Earth's surface, atmosphere, and underground. Water is constantly moving from one place to another through the processes of evaporation, precipitation, transpiration, condensation, and runoff. Water in the water cycle can exist as a solid, liquid, or gas. The water cycle is very important to life on Earth. They will have watched two videos that explain the process of the water cycle. The students will have read and taken notes from the given websites provided on the slides giving detailed information of the water cycle. Also the students will have learned where water comes from and how it is reused during the cycle.
