The Water Cycle

A huge puddle covers the four-square court at Mateo's school, and by lunch it's gone. Students follow the water: evaporation, clouds, four kinds of precipitation, runoff and groundwater, where Earth's water is, and a water-cycle-in-a-bag experiment they can do in class.

Grades 3–5 · Science, Earth science

What is inside

  • Where did the puddle go?
  • Up into the air
  • Clouds and rain
  • Around and around
  • Earth's water
  • Try it: a water cycle in a bag
  • Check your understanding (11-question graded quiz, 70% to pass, 3 attempts)
  • Going further (two short videos)

The bag experiment needs a zip-top bag, a marker, water, tape, and a sunny window. Instructions and a checklist are in the course.

The last lesson has two YouTube videos, so that lesson needs internet access. Everything else works offline.
