Water cycle

Science

• The student has learned about the concept of evaporation as they observed water heating up and turning into vapor.
• They have understood the concept of condensation as they watched water vapor turn back into liquid on a cold surface.
• The student has grasped the idea of precipitation as they observed water falling from the sky in the form of rain or snow.
• They have learned about the concept of collection as they saw how water gathers in oceans, rivers, and other bodies of water.

For continued development, you can encourage the student to create a simple water cycle diorama using simple craft materials. They can also observe different sources of water in their environment and discuss how these sources are related to the water cycle. Additionally, you can introduce simple experiments or demonstrations to further solidify their understanding of the water cycle and its processes.
