  2. Introduction The water cycle – what is it? You have heard your mom talk about it while doing the laundry? Oh, I see. You must be talking about the rinse cycle. Silly! No, I am talking about the water cycle which is a natural occurring process that recycles the earth’s water.

  3. Task As master scientists, you will create a diorama of the water cycle once you have explored, studied, and learned about it through this web quest. The diorama must illustrate the three major parts of the water cycle. You must also choose one other natural occurrence that results from the water cycle to include in your diorama.

  4. Process At the computer: 1. Watch the Video of Bill Nye the Science Guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hehXEYkDq_Y&feature=related 2. Read the Information at http://www.mbgnet.net/fresh/cycle/cycle.htm 3. Explore the water cycle at http://earthguide.ucsd.edu/earthguide/diagrams/watercycle/ Be sure to click on all the options to the left. 4. Create a diagram of your diorama using Microsoft Publisher. 5. Print the plan to help you when creating your diorama. 6. Save the Plan under the science folder as yourname.plan With your partner at your desks: Complete your diorama using the art supplies on the back table and be sure to do the following: • use lots of color • label the parts of the water cycle (minimum of 4), check spelling, write clearly • work together • on the back of the diorama write your names and what you did to complete the diorama under your name

  7. Teacher Page Thank you to Microsoft Publisher and the following websites that were used for this web quest: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hehXEYkDq_Y&feature=related Billy Nye the Science Guy http://www.mbgnet.net/fresh/cycle/cycle.htm http://earthguide.ucsd.edu/earthguide/diagrams/watercycle/ This web quest was designed for Michigan Third Graders learning about the water cycle. This activity meets the following Michigan Grade Level Core Standard *S.RS.E.1 Reflecting on knowledge is the application of scientific knowledge to new anddifferent situations. Reflecting on knowledge requires careful analysis of evidence thatguides decision-making and the application of science throughout history and withinsociety. S.RS.03.11 Demonstrate scientific concepts through various illustrations, performances, models, exhibits, and activities.
