- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- Salt marshes
- In Wetlands of the coastal plains, page 15
- The single most important ecological feature of salt marshes along coastal rivers is their immersion/exposure cycle. The lower the marsh, the longer the surface is immersed in tidal waters. Low marshes in North Carolina are dominated by smooth cordgrass (

- Water Conservation/Public Education Programs
- A wonderful service provided by the city of Durham Water Management Department to inform the community and K-12 students about the importance of conservation of our most important natural resource - water.
- Format: article/field trip opportunity
- The drought causes conservation
- The students will use their knowledge of the importance of water to learn about the hydrosphere. The drought being experienced will be explored through graphs and a personal plan for water conservation.

- By Linda Cummer.
- 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.

- 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.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 5 English Language Development and Science)
- 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.”

- Coconut palms reflected in wet-rice fields
- Young coconut palm trees grow along the margins of wet-rice fields. Their reflections are visible in the water of the flooded fields in which young green rice seedlings grow. The water in the rectangular fields appears aqua blue, reflecting Bali's tropical...

- Adaptation to frequent fires
- In Wetlands of the coastal plains, page 4
- In addition to fire-resistant bark, longleaf pines have a number of other adaptations to their frequent-fire habitat other than their fire resistant bark. For example, their seedlings have a growth cycle that helps them escape fires. After seeds are shed from...

- An integrated lesson comparing the butterfly and frog life cycles
- Students will build on their prior knowledge about the butterfly life cycle to compare and contrast the life cycles of butterflies and frogs. Students will locate butterflies on the school grounds and create pictographs and models of fractions to explain their findings mathematically. Students will also use a variety of resources to read about and study the food, space and air needed by butterflies and frogs to grow. They will create visual and written products to demonstrate their findings.
