Observing the water cycle: Initially, students will observe a demonstration of the water cycle and apply the information gained through the demonstration. Then students will measure and graph rainfall for two weeks.; Format: lesson plan (grade 2 and 5 Mathematics, Computer Technology Skills, and Science); By Priscilla Nutt.

Weathering the water cycle: Evaporation: Students will learn that evaporation is one of the three stages of the water cycle. The other three lessons in this series on condensation, precipitation, and the water cycle will allow the students to explore all stages.; Format: lesson plan (grade 2 and 5 Science); By Cathie Hill, Jackie Parker, and Karen Neilson.

Weathering the water cycle: Precipitation: Students will learn that precipitation is one of the three stages of the water cycle and how it relates to the other stages.; Format: lesson plan (grade 2 and 5 Science); By Cathie Hill, Jackie Parker, and Karen Neilson.
