1. Journey of a Water Molecule
Today you will be a water molecule and go on a journey through the water cycle.
Start at any station near you and draw a card from the envelope.
Read what it says and write it in your travel log.
The card will tell you which station to go to next.
Repeat this process until your travel log is complete.
When you are finished, sit back down in your seat and answer the Analysis Questions at the bottom of the paper.

2. Journey of a Water Molecule
Imagine you are a water molecule…
think about all the places you would go…
Yesterday’s journey had you visiting many
different locations where you would find water on Earth.
PROJECT:
Use the Travel Log to create a Children’s Story Book that details all the places your traveled to on your journey.
It must include all 10 stations from your Travel Log and be from the water molecule’s point of view. See the rubric for more details.
