Description

Lesson Overview

Students will:

• Use an image to get students thinking about what processes allow water to change location
• Predict, then act as water droplets to simulate the water cycle in a game-model
• Observe differences between hypothesized and actual route, differences between routes other students took, and how the model works
• Consider how much water is contained within reservoirs while participating in an instructor-led demonstration 

Lesson Objectives 

Students will be able to:

• Identify the processes that allow water to change location
• Use a model to describe the cycling of water through the hydrosphere

This lesson is aligned with these Next Generation Science (NGS) Standards.
