  1. In The Know About H2O The Water Cycle By Lauren Overton

  2. “…And water is precious. Without it, not a single living thing could survive. No plants would grow, not even one blade of grass. No animals would roam the earth, not even a spider. But somewhere in the world right now, snow drifts on a mountain top and rain falls on a valley. And all around us, we are reminded of the never ending journey of a drop of water.” –Walter WickIntroductionThis presentation will review books that we have read in class, and demonstrate how all life on earth is dependant upon water for survival.

  3. Goals For Learning • Become familiar with the water cycle. • Understand that all living things are dependant on water. • Understand how we affect the environment. • Be able to define the term “conservation” and understand how it applies to water.

  4. We learned about all of the properties of water. Can you name any of those properties? Can you name any of the forms of water around you? While Reading…

  5. We see that people everywhere need water to survive. Where does the water you drink come from? How often do you drink water? While Reading…

  6. Did You Know? • The human body is made of 70% Water. • People can go weeks without food but only days without water. • Of all of the water on the earth 97% is undrinkable because it is salt water. • The 3% of water left is drinkable freshwater and even most of that water is frozen in glaciers and ice sheets (Kerley 2002).

  7. “When the well is dry we know the worth of water.”-Benjamin Franklin • Conservation of water ensures that we will have clean drinking water in the future. • What can you do to keep water clean and available?

  8. In Water Dance, we learned that water is many places. Can you name the places that water exists in your neighborhood? Can you name the nearest ocean or river? Water is all around us

  9. In many parts of the world it rarely rains. What does this mean for the plants, animals, and people who live in these areas? Many groups of people have traditions and folklore associated with the water cycle. Water Comes and Goes

  10. Lets Explore! • There are many questions that we have about the water cycle and how it effects us. • Click on the link to view an explanation of the water cycle. • http://www.epa.gov/safewater/kids/flash/flash_watercycle.html

  11. Observing Water In Our Classroom • We are going to create a terrarium for our classroom. • A Terrarium is a container filled with plants that can show us how the water cycle works. • Does anyone know how to make a terrarium?

  12. How To Build A Terrarium Click on the following link for instructions: http://www.canteach.ca/elementary/life5.html

  13. What will we see? • What did we learn about the water cycle that we might see in our terrarium? • Think about the water cycle and predict what will happen inside our terrarium. In groups of four, write a brief prediction that you can share with the class
