  1. Hydrologic Cycle AKA: Water Cycle

  2. Warm UP The Many Adventures of Drippy the Raindrop As your read this cute little story or even have the audio read it for you, answer the following questions. Story guiding questions: 1. What was Drippy’s favorite thing to do? 2. What was happening to drippy as the sun rose and became higher? 3. Why would Drippy want to join the cloud? 4. What process must have happened for Drippy to go UP in the sky? 5. Why would there be other raindrops in the cloud? 6. Explain the irony in captain salty? 7. What does the location of Drippy’s cloud when he first jump aboard compared to when he prepared to fall, tell us about the movement of water. 8. What process did Drippy undergo when he jumped from the cloud? Predict why he had to jump. 9. As Drippy falls why does he retain his shape? 10. Why would landing in a mountain stream be a fun ride? 11. Explain what happened to the land and water load as Drippy moved from stream to river.

  3. Added Warm UP In your journal record the following: After watching Thristin’s water cycle explain rain, water storage, vapor, and clouds. Use the vocabulary used in the narrated story. http://www.epa.gov/safewater/kids/flash/flash_watercycle.html

  4. Essential Question What impact do humans have on the water cycle?

  5. Areas of Interaction ENVIRONMENTS: What resources do we have or need? What are my responsibilities? Improving awareness of our interdependence with the environment to understand and accept our responsibility. Focus on the local and global environment. Acquiring knowledge to sustain the environment: awareness, responsibility, action and reflection.

  6. Preface Water is the only substance that occurs naturally on Earth in all three states: solid (ice and snow), liquid (ocean, river and lake water), and gas (clouds, steam and vapor). The natural circulation or pathway that Earth’s water follows as it changes between liquid, solid, and gas states is called the global water cycle.

  7. Purpose Model the water cycle: Station One Model making Station Two: Warm Ups

  8. Materials Flat-bottomed clear container Water - hot Small jar Plastic wrap Large bowl Ice

  9. Hypothesis Hypothsize what you would have to show to correctly model the water cycle. How will the materials given help with this process?

  10. Procedures / Experiment • Pour enough hot water into a flat-bottomed bowl to cover the bottom. • Put the small jar in the center of the bowl • Loosely cover the top of the bowl with plastic wrap. • Place ice on top of the plastic, directly over the jar. • Observe the bowl and plastic wrap.

  11. Data Collecting Record in your journal what occurs after each 5 minute interval.

  12. Interpreting Data Draw a diagram of your water cycle model. Label each part with what it represents.

  13. Conclusion Explain in a paragraph what each piece of material represented. Why were they placed in their proper locations. How did this project work to demonstrated the global water cycle process.
