To engage the students, I will demonstrate the water cycle using a model. At the end of the demonstration, I will do a formative assessment that asks students to draw pictures of the different stages of the water cycle. To explore, the students will make their own water cycles using plastic water bottles. I will then use another formative assessment that will ask students to predict and observe. I will use the book, Water Dance by Thomas Locker to explain the water cycle. I will also use the District’s Science Textbook. (Scott Foresman) Students will create brochures to extend their understanding of the water cycle. For the students’ summative evaluation, they will take their brochures to third-grade classrooms, along with a song, a poem, PowerPoint presentation or a model they have created. I plan to cover the following GLE’s: Strand 5, 2Ea (Describe and trace the path of water as it cycles through the hydrosphere, geosphere, and atmosphere—the water cycle: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, surface run-off/groundwater flow.) Some of the safety issues will be the use of warm water, ice, and matches (used only by the teacher). I chose this topic since it is a fifth-grade GLE objective, plus the students will learn about the true amount of fresh water available to Earth’s population. Students need to be made aware of how to sustain the Earth’s fresh water ecosystem.
