Once the research has been conducted the students will get in pairs of 2 and organize a power-point about their
research.
Once the power-point has been conducted the students will present them to the class. After the presentations are
done the students will work on an activity online about The Water Cycle.
STANDARDS ADDRESSED:
GLE 0407.8.1 Recognize the major components of the water cycle.
90407.8.1 Prepare a model that illustrates the basic features of the water cycle.
90407.8.3 Use an illustration to predict and draw conclusions about how weather and climate affect the
water cycle.
SPI 0407.8.1 Identify the basic features of the water cycle and describe their importance to life on earth.
MATERIALS:

The following website:
http://oceanservice.noaa.gov/education/pd/oceans_weather_climate/media/watercycle.swf
(the website listed above is an interactive activity to recap what the students have learned during the lesson)
BACKGROUND and RATIONALE:
The concept of this lesson is for the students to fully understand how the water cycle works.
The student must also learn how to effectively use Power-Point to present to the class.
The students must know how to move throughout a website and a computer to effectively succeed in the
assignments.
The students have previously had a lesson about the Water Cycle to introduce them to the assignment.
This lesson is the end of the lessons learning about the water cycle. We are using the power-point
presentations to bring a closure to the lesson.
In the case that students may not be able to use the internet or have disabilities, the activity may need to
be modified in the future.
