Make a mini water cycle! We know that water can be a liquid, a gas, or a solid. Outside, water is always changing from liquid to gas and back again. This process is called the water cycle. You can see how the water cycle works. The Water Cycle. The sun's heat causes water to evaporate from streams, lakes, rivers, and oceans. The water vapor rises.
Introduce the idea of building a model of the water cycle. Remind students that they have seen and used drawings and animations as models of a solid, liquid, and gas. Tell students that they will make a different kind of model to show the water cycle.
Show the Animation Water Cycle Model. Explain to students that the water in the container evaporates and that those water molecules cool down and condense to form water again. Explain to students that this process of evaporation and condensation makes rain happen and is called the water cycle.
In this hands-on lesson plan, students make a physical model of the water cycle to explore evaporation, condensation, and precipitation, as well as other water cycle processes.
