The teacher can provide the students with a copy of a flow chart that explains the flow of water from evaporation to precipitation. In addition, students have the opportunity to read explanations about each phase of the water cycle. Finally, students trace the actual core words of the water cycle.
The students are given a task to demonstrate their understanding of the water cycle. The teacher can write the main words of the water cycle on the board. The students then draw their interpretation of the flow of water in the water cycle. Students should label each stage.
Students learn from hearing information packaged in a child-friendly context. Therefore, a story about the water cycle written with an adventurous tone tends to garner the attention of the students than just telling the students about the water cycle. After the story has been read, the teacher can ask follow-up questions to ensure that the students understand the correlation between the story and the actual water cycle.
Students move to music. The teacher can take a song about the water cycle and demonstrate hand movements to emphasis the main components of the water cycle. Once the teacher demonstrates the song and movements, then students can take turns demonstrating their ability to lead the song and show the hand movements that are associated with the main components of the water cycle.
