Recognize that the earth’s landforms change over time. 6.1
Illustrate the hydrologic cycle and distinguish among condensation, evaporation, precipitation, transpiration, groundwater, runoff, and surface water reservoirs. 6.2	Create a model of the water cycle - lesson plan from Oceans Alive Droplet and the Water Cycle - Avoid pitfalls and predators while you navigate a Droplet through several challenging levels of the hydrological cycle. Evaporation and Condensation - analysis of the part these processes play in the water cycle Evaporation and Condensation - a water cycle in a mayonnaise jar Follow a drop through the water cycle How You Can Make a Model of the Water Cycle - print this to give to your students [this expired page is from the Internet Archive known as the Wayback Machine] The Hydrologic Cycle - Enchanted Learning's lesson plans and diagrams. Ideas for teaching about the water cycle - from Pro Teacher Introduction to the Water Cycle - index page for three other pages listed on the left side of the page Jumbled Water Cycle - click and drag components to their proper place Study Jams: Water Cycle Video - a video from Scholastic.com does a good job of explaining the cycle [the quiz does not work properly] Water Cycle Water Cycle Animation - Observe a raindrop traveling through various paths of the water cycle. In this visualization, the blue raindrop shows where water is. The red arrows show the processes that could move it to another place. Water Cycle Animation - from BBC Water Cycle Animation - make changes to the image by selecting buttons on the left - from EarthGuide The Water Cycle - US Geological Survey's Water Cycle - one of the most complete explanation of the cycle The Water Cycle Lesson Plan - five activities in one [this expired page is from the Internet Archive known as the Wayback Machine] Water Cycle Player - interactive animation from Discovery Education Water Science - US Geological Survey's (USGS) Water Science for Schools web site! They offer information on many aspects of water, along with pictures, data, maps, and an interactive center where you can give opinions and test your water knowledge. Water Cycle - thirty-three slides with some good images Water Cycle - a slide show by Soo Park, Alex Reynolds, Kate Schmidt, Connie Woo, and Christine Zackrison Water Cycle Lesson Plan - from Planet H2O Water Cycle WebQuest - [designed for 5th grade] Water Wizard quizzes - Do you have a fountain of knowledge when it comes to water? Well, dive right in and test your knowledge of water with these Water Wizard quizzes. Water Cycle: Condensation - from Water Science at the USGS site Water Cycle: Evaporation - from Water Science at the USGS site
