The Water Cycle Consultant: Kawonna Jackson Client: Whitney Patterson Project 5: Visual-Based Instruction Across the Curriculum MEDT 7485
Standards • S6E3 Students will recognize the significant role of water in earth processes. • ELACC6SL5: Include multimedia components (e.g., graphics, images, music, sound) and visual displays in presentations to clarify information. • ELACC6RI7: Integrate information presented in different media or formats (e.g., visually, quantitatively) as well as in words to develop a coherent understanding of a topic or issue.
Objective • Students will discuss the stages of the water cycle. • Students will create an infographic depicting the stage of the water cycle. • Students will create a story board. • Students will create a movie using digital media for the water cycle.
Essential Questions • How can we use technology to help with learning? • What is a storyboard? How should it be used? • How can we use infographics to represent and/or show information? • What are the stages of the water cycle? • How does water change from one form to another during the water cycle stages?
Stages of the Water Cycle • Evaporation • Condensation • Precipitation • Infiltration
Evaporation • The process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas or vapor is called evaporation. • Heat from the sun controls the evaporation process. • Once water evaporates, it also helps form clouds. • Clouds release moisture then liquid water falls to Earth.
Condensation • Condensation is the process when water changes from a gas (vapor) to liquid. • Clouds are formed through condensation. • Condensation happens when water droplets forms due to cooling air.
Precipitation • Precipitation formation happens above or below freezing temperature. • Precipitation occurs when moist air rises sufficiently to produce saturation, condensation, and the growth of precipitation particles.
Infiltration • When water soaks into the soil from the ground level infiltration happens. • Water moves around underground and moves between the soil and rocks.

Visual media • Infographics • Storyboard • Movie
Infographic • A fun and easy way to learn about a topic through illustrations. • Graphic or visual representations of information, data, or knowledge. • A different way to present complex information clearly.
Storyboard • Storyboard visualizes the entire project in the form of individual scenes, shots or screens (Golombisky & Hagen 2010). • Layout or outline of a video. • Tell the story of a video scene by scene. • A sketch of how to organize a story.
Assignment • Create an infographic about the water cycle • Create a story board for a movie • Create a 3-4 minute movie about the water cycle
