• Content- Science Grade- Fourth Grade• Summary: The purpose of this

PowerPoint is to help students learn about the Water Cycle and recognize the major components of the water cycle.

• Learning Objective: Given information about the Water Cycle students will need to use information and answer questions within the PowerPoint with 100 percent accuracy.

• Content Standard: Recognize the major components of the water cycle.

• Accomplishment: Science/Weather: Understand the Water Cycle. Identify the four major components,

Lets Get Started!• Read over this website to find out about the

Water Cycle. http://ellerbruch.nmu.edu/classes/cs255w03/cs255students/mteasley/p4/watercycle.html

• Remember the 4 major components:1.Evaporation

2. Condensation 3. Precipitation 4. Collection.

Videos • Next, watch the two videos to gain

more knowledge. Listen carefully this information will be useful in the questions you will have to answer.

• Hope you enjoyed the videos!

Brainstorming• Now that you have read and watched

videos about the process of the Water Cycle, it is time to critically think.

• Are you drinking the same water as the dinosaurs. Discuss with a partner, write down what you think?

ReadyQuestion One

• This component in the Water Cycle takes many forms such as; rain, snow, hail, thunderstorms, and hail?

• Evaporation• Collection• Condensation• Precipitation

Correct!!

In this component too much water has condensed that air cannot hold it. The clouds get to heavy and have to release the water. Rain or snow will be released from the clouds

.

Question 2

• In Condensation water vapor loses energy and turns in to a liquid.

• True

• False

Correct!

• In this stage water vapor reaches the sky it cools and turns into a liquid, forming clouds.

• Water vapor needs a place to stick for condensation to happen.

Question 3

• What component of the Water Cycle starts the process over?

• Collection • Precipitation • Condensation • Rain

Good Job!

• The last component is the Water Cycle is collection. After, precipitation occurs the water falls back into the oceans, lakes and rivers. Thus causing the Water Cycle to start again.

LAST QUESTION

• The Water Cycle is continuous and only has to major components.

• True• False

Correct!!

• Good job, that was a tricky question. The Water Cycle is continuous but has four major components.

Summary• The learning objective of this PowerPoint was

to educate students about the Water Cycle.In this lesson students will learn the major

components of the Water Cycle and be able to identify them and describe them. They will have have watched two videos and read over a website to obtain knowledge. After, taking notes from the website and videos the students will take a quiz over the Water Cycle

Incorrect

•Try again!!• Think hard and go back to previous slides if

needed.
