- 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.
- 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.

- By Cathie Hill, Jackie Parker, and Karen Neilson.
- 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.

- Cliffs near Lower Calf Creek Falls in Escalante, Utah
- These are rock cliffs near Lower Calf Creek in Escalante, Utah. They are composed of pink, gray, and tan Navajo sandstone, which over time is eroding into the valley below. Brushy vegetation and scrubby trees grow in the valley. The cliffs arc in a wide curve...

- 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.

- By Kelly This and Leigh Thrower.
- 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.”

- 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.
