- Weathering the water cycle: Condensation
- This lesson introduces students to condensation as one phase of the water cycle. Through the use of the four lessons in this series in which students will learn that the water cycle is a continuous cycle.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 2 Science)
- By Cathie Hill, Jackie Parker, and Karen Neilson.
- Weathering the water cycle: Conclusion
- This lesson concludes the unit "Weathering the Water Cycle." As a result of this unit, students will understand that the water cycle is a continuous cycle made up of the three stages; evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 2 Computer/Technology Skills)
- By Cathie Hill, Jackie Parker, and Karen Neilson.
- Water and Weather
- From just looking at cloud formations to building a weather station, this sampling of resources help students learn all about climate, weather, and the water cycle.
- Format: bibliography/help
- Investigating evaporation
- Students will investigate evaporation as a cooling process. They will witness that temperature is affected by moisture content and the process of evaporation. Next, they will explore websites related to the processes of evaporation and condensation. Students will apply gained knowledge to real-life situations, and will share their new knowledge with a person outside the classroom.

- 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 and Science)
- By Priscilla Nutt.
- More than just a rainy day: The water cycle
- Students will identify water sources in the school environment in order to understand the origins of our water and to gain perspective about the students' place in the water cycle. Students will learn about the water cycle using a variety of resources and discover connections between the water cycle and the water that they use every day.

- Watching the weather
- In CareerStart lessons: Grade seven, page 3.5
- In this lesson for grade seven, students discuss the work that meteorologists do and brainstorm ways to collect data about the weather without using instruments. Students collect weather data over a two-week period.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 7 Science)
- By Emma Couch.Adapted by Mitzi Talbert.
- 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.

- Round and Round It Goes; Water, Where It Stops Nobody Knows
- The hydrologic cycle is the process, powered by the sun, which identifies the constant, endless movement of water from the atmosphere to the earth to the ground water, to the rivers to the oceans and back into the atmosphere. This experimental lab lesson will show the process of the hydrologic cycle as it relates to the earth's atmosphere by showing three different scenarios,the first scenario (the control), container A, shows the hydrologic cycle with no contaminates. The second scenario, container B, shows the hydrologic cycle with the earth's soil contaminated. The third scenario, container C, demonstrates the hydologic cycle with the air polluted. These three situations will give the student an idea of how the atmosphere and the growth of plant life are affected by different contaminants in the earth.This lesson will, in fact, investigate the hydrologic cycle experimentally.

- Cloudy with a chance of... what?
- Students will enjoy reading about a town where no one ever goes hungry because the sky provides food while learning about weather, healthy and unhealthy foods, and creating a database.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 2–4 English Language Arts and Science)
- By BJ Larson and Paula Sharpe.
- Solar sizzlers
- Group projects of building solar cookers or collectors provide arena for learning about energy sources and transformation. Gathering data for comparison and analysis exercises students' graphing skills and thinking.

- By Larry Parker.
- Water cycle word study
- Students will look at the written similarities in the words used to describe the water cycle (ex., evaporation, transpiration, precipitation, accumulation, condensation), focusing on suffixes and prefixes as a way to gain understanding of those terms. Students will group words by meaning and label a blank water cycle chart based on the categories for the groupings they create. This lesson is designed in conjunction with “More than just a rainy day—the water cycle.”

- Selected excerpts from Harriet Jacobs slave narrative
- Harriet Jacobs was born in Edenton, North Carolina, in 1813. As a young woman she ran away from her master, hiding out in a crawl space above a storeroom in her grandmother’s house for seven years. In 1842, she escaped to the North and lived as a fugitive while she worked to reunite herself with her two children. In these excerpts from her memoir, she describes her childhood, her years in the crawl space, her escape to the North, and her experiences as a free woman.
