Presentation Transcript

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  8. 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

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

  10. Water, Water Everywhere http://pmm.nasa.gov/education/videos/water-water-everywhere

  11. Evaluate Water Cycle Mini-Project

  12. Within your groups – • Create a poster illustrating the water cycle • You can use all of the information in your notes or this presentation as well as any other source you desire • Vocab & Steps needed: • Condensation • Groundwater • Infiltration • Evaporation • Transpiration • Precipitation • Runoff • Solar Radiation • Gravity • Color code: Stages requiring heat; giving off heat; using gravity

  13. Evaluation Mini-Project Rubric
