Grade Level: 2-6th Grade
Subject: Earth Science- Water System
Lesson Time: 2-3 Hours
Description:
Students will model and understand the water cycle on Earth. In this lesson, students engage in a fun activity where they visit different stations that are represented by the different sources of water on Earth. By rolling dice and following the instructions on the station card, students move around the room and visit the different stations, collecting beads that represent each station along the way. These stations are specifically designed to have students visit each water station proportionately to how much water is on Earth. Students learn about the percentage of water on Earth by engaging in fun, interactive activity resulting in an increase of knowledge and a new cool water bracelet!
