    The Water Cycle

    Water goes round and round. It never runs out; it just moves and changes.

    Choose a branch to see its meaning, an example and a question. Choose it again to open or close its smaller branches.

  2. Weekly quiz

    Quiz, 7–17 min

    Answer each question. Take your time.

  3. Weekly assessment sheet

    Worksheet, 17–29 min

    Do your best. Ask if you need a word read to you.

  4. Oral questions

    Discussion, 29–34 min

    • What makes a puddle dry up faster on a sunny day?
    • Why do water drops appear on a cold window?
    • What kinds of precipitation have you seen?
    • Where does rain go after it lands on the ground?

  5. Think back

    Reflection, 34–38 min

  6. Exit ticket

    Exit ticket, 38–42 min

    Show me with your thumb: how well do you know the water cycle? Tell me one thing you learned.

  7. Homework

    Homework, 42–45 min

    Be a water detective. Find one place at home where you can see evaporation or condensation. Draw it and write one sentence.

    • About 15 minutes.
