So today the 1st grade is woerking with me to learn more about the water cycle. It seems that the water cycle is HUGe in 5th grade, but for 1st grade we are building a familiarity with the concepts
Lesson for grades 3-4
Lesson for Grade 5
Comprehensive Grade 5 Water Cycle
Water Cycle Boogie with Learning support slides
Watercycle Boogie performed live
Intro conversation with Wokka (puppet) on the Water Cycle
Sample Questions:
Where does rain come from?
What is the water cycle?
What are clouds made of?
When you sweat is that part of the water cycle?
After our intro conversation we are going to watch the Brain Pop on the Water Cycle. After the video we are going to ask each table group to create a picture for every part of the water cycle. We are not telling them to draw or take a live action picture, we want to see what they will come up with. There will be 3 teacehrs in the room to help guide the process.
After they make pictures we will share the pictures to the board and then we will all do the Water Cycle Boogie!
Next week we are going to make a water cycle green screen movie!
