Water Cycle Song Tune of “She’ll Be Coming Around the Mountain” Record song in your science notebook: Water travels in a cycle, yes it does (use pointer finger to make a big circle) Water travels in a cycle, yes it does (repeat finger circle) It goes up as evaporation (moves hands up to the sky) Forms clouds as condensation (make a cloud overhead with arms) Then comes down as precipitation, yes it does!

Evaporation The sun heats up the water. Water evaporates the lake and goes into air as water vapor Can’t see water vapor, but it is all around us Photo Flicker sfgamchick “Lake Michigan” August 8 th, 2007 via Flickr, Creative Commons Attribution.Lake Michigan”

Condensation Water in the air cools Little water vapors turns into tiny water droplets Water droplets go together forms into clouds Photo Flicker xray10 “Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore” August 25 th, 2010 via Flicker, Creative Commons Attribute.

Water Cycle Board While discovering water cycles, we will create a bulletin board sharing what the water cycle looks like in our “Water Cycle” April 28 th 2007 via Flikr, Creative Commons Attribution.Water Cycle

2 nd Graders Explaining the Water Cycle Water Cycle Stop Motion We will also create a stop motion explanation of the water cycle on our iPads. Watch another 2 nd grade class and their water cycle stop motion!
