Learning Objectives:

 Students will be able to name al four

main parts of the water cycle and identify their role within the

cycle 

Materials Needed:

-Smartboard

-Pencil

-Diagram Worksheet

Lesson Outline:

Intro: A book will be read to the class to further their learning on the water cycle and how all of the parts play an important role in the cycle

Activity: Students will receive a diagram of the water cycle with a word bank for them to choose from. The word bank will include the words: Evaporation, Precipitation, Collection, and Condensation. They will then write the blanks where they accurately go based on the pictures provided. 

Closure: The teacher will briefly go over the four parts of the water cycle once again and have the students respond. The teacher will ask “What happens during the condensation stage of the water cycle?” and students will respond with their answers. The teacher will repeat this process for all four parts of the cycle and then watch a video to deepen their understanding on the concept
