Theme: Weather Changes throughout the Year
Lesson Topic: Water Cycle
All Students Will:
Language Objectives:
*Students will be able to define the terms, condensation, evaporation and precipitation.
*Students will be able to retell the steps of the water cycle to their classmates through singing.
Content Objectives:
*Students will recognize and identify the patterns in the water cycle.
Learning Strategies:
Kinesthetic:
*Students will use visual cut outs to demonstrate the water cycle in their group.
*Students will create motions to depict the water cycle.
*Students will cut and paste the sequence of the water cycle.
Audio:
*Students will learn and memorize the water cycle song.
Visual:
*Students will use the water cycle poster and song hand out to determine the patterns.
Key Vocabulary:
1. evaporation
2. condensation
3. precipitation
4. cycle
Materials:
1. copy of the water cycle song
2. 4 corner chart
3. glue sticks
4. kid scissors
5. water cycle cut-outs
6. cut and paste water cycle activity
7. water cycle poster
Hook (for all students):
1. Build background knowledge and the words “water” and “cycle.”
2. Students will do a think-pair-share activity with individual questions.
3. Questions will be displayed one-by-one on the board.
*What do you use water for?
*Where can water be found?
*Where have you seen the word cycle before?
*What does cycle mean?
4. Multiple Means of Representation:
* Show the Drippy the Raindrop video using the Aver Key to get students interested in the water cycle.
* Video is located at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tugi8P-QWkc
*This will help hook students because the story is about a little raindrop's travels and is narrated by kids their age. It will give an introduction into what the water cycle process looks like through the narration and supporting illustrations.
Instructional Delivery:
Multiple Means of Expression:
1. Pass out song handout to students and teacher performs song.
2. Go through each line of the song having students repeat after the teacher. (Scaffold)
3. Sing song whole class.
4. Point to key vocabulary terms on the board.
5. Give each group a word to become an expert on. Use vocabulary chart (4 corners) to present their work.
6. Each group will share their vocabulary chart.
Guided Practice/ Application:
1. Pass out the cut and paste activity.
2. Students will cut and paste the correct words to match the pictures in the water cycle.
3. Students will perform the water cycle song with their group using the cutout. This will be the informal assessment.
Review/Assessment Activity:
Multiple Means of Engagement:
1. Students will perform the water cycle song with their group using the cutout. This will be our informal assessment.
2. Teacher will collect the cut and paste activity to assess student knowledge of the water cycle. This will be our formal assessment.
*This assessment will allow students to work with each other in small groups to show their knowledge of the water cycle.
*It will also motivate them to stay focused because they will be performing in front of each other.
3. Teacher will pass out Water Cycle Diorama guidelines and requirements.
*This project is due at the end of the unit.
*It is an individual project that will be formally assessed by the teacher and informally assessed by their peers.
