  1. Created by the GPM Education and Public Outreach Team NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Exploring the Water Cycle Lesson

  2. LEARNING TARGET – 4/24 • I will be able to explain global movements of water and describe changes in form by sunlight and gravity.

  3. HOMEWORK 4/24/17 • TAKE-HOME CONCEPT ATTAINMENT QUIZ

  4. DO NOW: PRE-ASSESSMENT • TODAY IS 4/24/17

  5. KEY VOCAB 04- WORDS 7, 8 • 7. condensation (noun)- The change from gas state to liquid state. • 8. precipitation (noun)- Rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls from clouds in the sky.

  6. TODAY IS: 4/25/17

  7. Engage Think-Pair Share: What is precipitation?

  8. Water is found almost everywhere on Earth from high in the atmosphere (as water vapor) to low in the atmosphere (precipitation, droplets in clouds) to mountain snowcaps and glaciers (solid) to running liquid water on the land, ocean, and underground. • Energy from the sun and the force of gravity drive the continual cycling of water among these reservoirs. • Sunlight causes evaporation and propels oceanic and atmospheric circulation, which transports water around the globe. • Gravity causes precipitation to fall from clouds and water to flow downward on the land through watersheds.

  9. Engage The Water Cycle http://pmm.nasa.gov/video-gallery/what-is-global-precipitation-measurement

  10. Think-Pair-Share “Based upon what we just viewed, why is it important to study and understand the water cycle?”

  11. Explore Animation – As you watch, think about what is happening in each stage of the water cycle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iohKd5FWZOE

  12. Explain: Energy from Sun Stages that require solar radiation. (Heat) Condensation Precipitation Solar Radiation Transpiration Evaporation Runoff Infiltration Groundwater Flow

  13. Explain: Condensation Stages that require water to give of heat. (Cool down) Condensation Precipitation Solar Radiation Transpiration Evaporation Runoff Infiltration Groundwater Flow

  14. Explain: Gravity Which parts of the water cycle are driven by the force of gravity? Condensation Precipitation Solar Radiation Transpiration Evaporation Runoff Infiltration Groundwater Flow

  15. Explain Watch each of the following demonstrations so you can answer the questions that go with them on your capture sheet.

  18. Evaluation Mini-Project Rubric

  19. Explain DO NOW: THE WATER CYCLE (Monday) 4/24/17 QUESTION: Where may the water from runoff travel to next? ANSWER: It can appear as infiltration via groundwater, collecting into aquifers (reservoirs) or flowing into lakes or rivers.

  20. LEARNING TARGET 4/24/17

  21. THE WATER CYCLE 4/24/17 • ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS • 1. What is evaporation? • 2. What is transpiration? • 3. What is condensation? • BIG IDEAS • 1. The sun heats water on Earth and turns it into water vapor in the air. • 2. Plants take water in through their roots. The water comes out through tiny pores in their leaves and evaporates. • 3. Water vapor in the air cools and turns back into liquid, forming clouds.

  22. THE WATER CYCLE • ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS • 4. What is precipitation? • 5. What is runoff? • 6. What is groundwater flow? • BIG IDEAS • 4. When the air cannot hold any more water, the water falls from clouds in the form of rain, hail, snow, or sleet. The precipitation falls on land and in water. • 5. Much of the water that falls on Earth’s surface flows back into lakes, rivers, and oceans. • 6. Some of the water that falls on land is stored in the ground and some returns to the sea.

  23. Explain DO NOW: THE WATER CYCLE 4/25/17 QUESTION: (1) What is crystallization? (2)Describe its specialized role in the water cycle. ANSWER: (1) Crystallization is the process by which liquid molecules form a highly-ordered solid. (2) The LIQUID water molecules that lose energy and cool further to change into a SOLID. *Snow, hail, sleet all form in this process and fall back to earth as precipitation.

  24. KEY VOCAB 05: 1, 2 • 1. Crystallization (noun): The formation of highly ordered, solid structures from particles in a solution. • 2. Infiltration(noun): Permeation of a liquid into something by filtration

  25. KEY VOCAB 05: 3, 4 • 3. sublimation (noun)- The transition of a substance directly from the solid to gas phase without passing through the intermediate liquid phase. • 4. aquifer (noun)- a body of permeable rock that can contain or transmit groundwater.

  26. KEY VOCAB 05: 5, 6, 7 • 5. vapor (noun): The invisible gas form of water • 6. cycle (noun): any complete round or series of occurrences that repeats or isrepeated. • 7. weather forecast (adj/n): the prediction of the daily atmospheric conditions of an area.

  27. KEY VOCAB 05: 8, 9, 10 • 8. rain shadow (adj/noun)- a region having little rainfall because it is sheltered from prevailing rain-bearing winds by a range of hills. • 9. landform(noun)- a natural feature of the earth's surface. • 10. wind(noun)- the perceptible natural movement of the air, especially in the form of a current of air blowing from a particular direction.

  28. Explain DO NOW: THE WATER CYCLE 4/27/17 QUESTION: Describe the importance of measuring precipitation. ANSWER: By monitoring rainfall, we can be aware of flood warnings, drought assessments, make estimates for freshwater reservoirs, have long-term planning for farmers.

  29. Explain DO NOW: THE WATER CYCLE 4/28/17 QUESTION: Can pollutants have an effect on the water cycle? Yes/No? Explain. ANSWER: Pollutants can enter the water cycle from the air when it rains. When sulphurdioxideandnitrogen oxide mix with moisture in the air, it creates acid rain.Acid rain is damaging to all living things as well as buildings and statues. Water pollution can have hugely damaging effects on the Earth's food chains.

  30. RELATIONSHIPS WITHIN THE WATER CYCLE Energy transfer from the sun warms water on Earth, which can evaporate into the atmosphere. • Water vapor in the atmosphere forms clouds, which can cool and condense to produce precipitation that falls to the surface of Earth. • Gravity causes water on land to move downhill (e.g., rivers and glaciers) and much of it eventually flows into oceans. • Some liquid and solid water remains on land in the form of bodies of water and ice sheets. • Some water remains in the tissues of plants and other living organisms, and this water is released when the tissues decompose.
