Graphic Organizer (Picture)
Complete The Water Cycle Graphic Organizer (draw a picture)
1- Use the graphic organizer (picture) to the side as an example.
2- Label and define/describe the 4 stages of the water cycle: Precipitation, Evaporation, Condensation, Collection.
3- Identify at least one location that collects water.
4- Use the internet to look up the definitions or the 4 stages.
5- The following links may be helpful:

Make a graphic organizer of the water cycle. Use the picture "The Water Cycle" as an example. You must label precipitation, condensation, evaporation, and collection. Describe the process of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation as they relate to the water cycle. Identify locations that collect water as it passes through the water cycle (ocean, ground water, fresh water, etc). Use the internet links to help write your definitions. Draw arrows between the stages to complete your cycle. If you include the states of matter in your graphic organizer, you will receive bonus points. Cite your sources.

1- Use the examples from the links below for directions on how to fold a "Fortune Teller"
2- Write the word as the question on the "Fortune Teller"
3- Use the internet to find the definitions for the words.
4- Write the definition as the answer of the "Fortune Teller".

Fold a Fortune Teller following the directions on the webpages.
Label the first four outer squares any word you want- in the picture example, they are the colors
Label the inside flap with the vocabulary words-in the picture example they are labeled 1-8
Inside each flap, write the vocabulary definition for each word as the fortune-- you will need to draw a dotted line (like the example) and write neatly small!

water drop story
With a partner, write a story about a day in the life of a drop of water
1- Use the droplet link below to see an example of a story and to get ideas.
2- Be creative and have fun with it, but make sure you use the vocabulary, and stages
properly.
3- Each student will write a 5 sentence paragraph about two stages in the water
cycle. Students may decide which 2 they will write about and which 2 their partner will write about.
precipitation, collection, evaporation, condensation.

States of Matter
BONUS POINTS! Label the States of Matter on your graphic organizer!
Water can exist as each of the three states of matter: liquid, solid, and gas. Liquid — the most common form of water. We see it as lakes, streams, and oceans and in the glasses of water we drink.
Solid -- also known as ice. Snow and hail also make up the "frozen" or solid water.
Gas — called water vapor of steam.

EvapoRATION
Evaporating into thin air!
1- Pour a cup of water.
2- Measure the height of the water level with a ruler and record the height of water in your science journal.
3- Make a prediction about what your think will happen and record it in your science journal.
4- Have students place the cups in a sunny spot outside.
5- Throughout the day have students measure the water level and record the water height in their journals.
What happened to the water level?
6- Record, draw or photograph the observations in science journal. Write a conclusion statement on what was observed. Use specific data from the experiment. Answer the question, "Was the Prediction Correct?"
**This experiment can be done over the course of a week.
EXTRA CREDIT
Precipitation Chart
Together with your parent, record the amount of precipitation that falls in your area over
a week and month. Create rain or snow gauges by putting a plastic ruler in a clear
plastic cup. Together, measure the precipitation and create a bar graph to display your findings. Compare the amount of precipitation in your area with other areas, such as the Amazon, Death Valley, or the Arctic.
