What role does water play? Sylvia Gonzales Third Grade
Objectives and Standards • The learner will learn what water is and the three states of water. • The learner will identify the path of the water cycle. • The learner will understand the roles water plays in the United States. • 1.0 Listening and Speaking StrategiesStudents listen critically and respond appropriately to oral communication. They speak in a manner that guides the listener to understand important ideas by using proper phrasing, pitch, and modulation. • Written and Oral English Language ConventionsStudents write and speak with a command of standard English conventions appropriate to this grade level. • Sentence Structure1.1 Understand and be able to use complete and correct declarative, interrogative, imperative, and exclamatory sentences in writing and speaking. • Physical Sciences • 1. Energy and matter have multiple forms and can be changed from one form to another. As a basis for understanding this concept: e. Students know matter has three forms: solid, liquid, and gas. f. Students know evaporation and melting are changes that occur when the objects are heated. • Investigation and Experimentation c. Use numerical data in describing and comparing objects, events, and measurements.
Fresh Water on Earth • 97% - Salt Water • 3% - Fresh Water - 2% = Ice - 1% = Usable Water Fresh water is very valuable!
What is water? • Water is H2O. • The H stands for hydrogen. • The O stands for oxygen.
Water Uses in the United States • Power Plants • Home • Farmers • Communities • Worksheet Break
Water States… • Water is constantly changing. • Water can exist as a solid, liquid, or gas.
The Water Cycle • “The path water follows as it evaporates into the air, condenses into clouds, and returns to the Earth as rain, snow, or hail.”
Water Cycle Path • Water on Earth • Evaporation • Condensation • Precipitation • Repeat the Cycle • Worksheet Break
What have you learned? • What percent of fresh water is usable water? • What does the O stand for in H2O? • Name one way water is used. • Name the three states of water. • Name and describe one step of the water cycle.
Vocabulary • Hydrogen- a colorless, flammable gas that is the lightest and most abundant of all gases • Oxygen- gas in air we breathe • Solid- of definite shape and volume; not liquid or gaseous • Liquid- the state of matter in which a substance exhibits a characteristic readiness to flow, little or no tendency to disperse, and relatively high incompressibility • Gas- a substance in the gaseous state • Evaporation- to convert or change into a vapor • Condensation- the process by which a gas or vapor changes to a liquid • Precipitation- any form of water, such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail, that falls to the earth's surface
