Save time planning for your water cycle unit with these hands-on experiments and activities.

You receive:

• step by step instructions for 3 water cycle experiments
• coordinating pages for each experiment that test students’ understanding
• links to digital Seesaw recording pages for easy tech integration
• 2 sets of word wall cards (hand-drawn pictures & real photographs) for the following water cycle words – evaporation, collection, precipitation, condensation
• a water cycle wheel craftivity
• a water cycle and rain book list
• 4 bonus crafts
• a count the raindrops math activity
• song

Each water cycle experiment is easy to set up and can be done as a whole group or in small groups. The coordinating pages test students’ understanding of the water cycle vocabulary words (collection, evaporation, condensation, precipitation) and how the experiment demonstrated each stage of the water cycle.

Several of the experiment pages can be completed using the free apps Seesaw or Pic Collage for easy technology integration. Links for the Seesaw activities are included, simply click the links and the activities are automatically saved to your Seesaw Library.

Please note that the water cycle experiments require the following materials that are NOT included in this resource: large bowl, mug or small cup, plastic wrap, string or large rubber band, water, Ziploc baggie, tape, blue food coloring, marker, shaving cream, small glass, medium glass, straw or eye dropper.

The water cycle wheel craftivity gives students a visual representation of the water cycle and shows that it repeats over and over again.

Also includes time-saving bonus activities (book list, math activity, song, 4 crafts)!
