  1. The Water Cycle Grade 5 By Jon Harnish

  2. GROUP ACTIVITY • Please divide into two groups • One group at EACH station in the back

  3. What is Water? • What does water feel like? • Wet • Cold • Hot • Thin • Runny • Hard

  4. What is Water? • What does it look like? • Shiny • Clear • Blue • Green • Brown • Droplets • Moving • Mist

  5. What is Water? • Taste? • It only absorbs other substances • Otherwise tasteless

  6. Where is it?

  7. WATER IS EVERYWHERE!

  8. Mountains

  9. Streams

  10. Atmosphere Underground

  11. Saline Oceans make up 97% of all water on earth

  12. LAKES3% of water on earth is freshwater1% is usable by humans

  13. 68% of all freshwater is stored in glaciers

  14. Plants

  15. Other Places • Puddles • Our bodies • Dew • Grocery stores… • Animals

  16. How Old Is It? • As old as the earth! • Some of the water in front of us may contain some of the same water molecules that: • Dinosaurs drank from • Kings drank from • Cavemen drank • It’s all the same water! • Water doesn’t disappear, its just changes form • We can’t get more of it and we cant get rid of it

  17. How Does the Water Get There? The Water Cycle!!!

  18. Here are a few stages of the water cycle • Evaporation • Condensation and Precipitation • Runoff and Infiltration

  19. Evaporation

  20. Condensation and Precipitation

  21. Evaporation, Condensation, and Precipitation Experiment • Put several ice cubes into a bowl (This will represents cold air) • Hold the bowl of ice cubes (cold air) over the steam (evaporation) from the boiling water. Watch for about 5 minutes! • Write down your observations

  22. Examples • Evaporation • Steam while boiling water • Steam in a shower • Condensation • Water droplets on the inside of the shower door • Morning Dew

  23. Runoff and Infiltration Infiltration

  24. Infiltration Experiment • To get a better understanding of infiltration, take the spray bottle (which represents precipitation) and spray the sponge (which represents the ground) until you notice a significant change • Record your observation after each set of (5) five full sprays (spray five times..observe then record…spray five more times..observe then record..) • Use as many spray bottles and sponges as you need per group Runoff Experiment • To get a better understanding of runoff, create a rainstorm over the mountain by having your whole group spray at the same time. Record your observations

  25. Final Activity • Demonstrate what you have learned • Divide into groups of two to three • Take one calendar picture per group • Label and describe the stages of the water cycle on the calendar picture • How did that water get there? • Where is it going? • Come up with a brief story describing your thoughts of the picture
