Title: The Water Cycle

Grade Level: 6th Grade

Subject: Science

Duration: 45 minutes

Objective: Students will be able to understand the water cycle and its different stages.

Materials:

Procedure:

Introduction (5 minutes):

Begin the lesson by asking students if they know what the water cycle is.
Write down their responses on the whiteboard.
Explain that the water cycle is the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth.

Body (35 minutes):

Show pictures of the water cycle and explain each stage: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection.
Play a video on the water cycle to reinforce the concept.
Distribute handouts on the water cycle and have students read and highlight important information.
Conduct a demonstration on evaporation and condensation. Fill a cup with water and place it on a heat source. Once the water starts to boil, hold a cold surface (such as an ice cube) above the cup. Ask students to observe what happens.
Conduct a demonstration on precipitation and collection. Fill a cup with water and place it on a heat source. Once the water starts to boil, hold a lid above the cup. The steam will condense on the lid and form droplets. Ask students to observe what happens when the droplets fall back into the cup.
Have students work in pairs to create a diagram of the water cycle. They can use the pictures and handouts as a guide.

Conclusion (5 minutes):

Ask students to share their diagrams with the class.
Review the different stages of the water cycle and ask students to explain each one.
Summarize the lesson by emphasizing the importance of the water cycle and how it affects our daily lives.

Assessment:

Students will be assessed based on their participation in class discussions and activities.
Students’ diagrams will be assessed based on accuracy and completeness.
