Mini Water Cycle Activity

I wanted to share a mini water cycle activity that my class is doing right now. I can't take credit for it, my partner teacher introduced it to me several years ago and we do it every year. Pour water (I add blue food coloring) into a small container and place in a ziploc bag. Mark your water line. Tape the bag to a window that receives sunlight. I have my students divide a page in their science notebooks into four blocks and label "Day 1", "Day 2", "Day 3", and "Day 4". On Day 1 we draw what you see here. On Days 2, 3, and 4 the students make an observation, draw what they see, and write a sentence or two underneath about what they noticed/observed. I've had my students do their observations as an early finisher throughout the morning and then we all discuss during Science. The water cycle is something the students usually really "get", but actually seeing it...it always interests them! I usually leave it in the window after our day 4 observation just so they can continue to see our mini water cycle!

  2. Swimming, rowing, water high impact exercise, paddling, surfing and so on are for the most part practices that I profit by basically moving water with my arms and legs. watersports distributor

  4. Surfing is an absolutely wonderful water sport, one of the most enjoyable anyone could ever do. No matter what shape you are in, no matter how old you are, or no matter how inexperienced you may be, you can hop on a board and ride the waves to your heart's content. However, it's also important to note that if you're in better physical condition and you have a good level of surfing fitness, you're going to have a much more enjoyable time surfing. skateshop

  6. This activity brilliantly demonstrates the fundamental concepts of the water cycle! Providing children with a hands-on experience helps them understand how water evaporation, condensation, and precipitation occur. Engaging students in interactive activities like this makes learning and retaining concepts much easier in the classroom. Your innovative approach ensures that students have a fun and memorable learning experience.top mba college in jaipur
