Presentation Transcript

  1. Created by the GPM Education and 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. Engage 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- Teacher Demonstrations Watch each of the following demonstrations so you can answer the questions that go with them on your capture sheet.

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

  11. Evaluate

  12. Evaluation Mini-Project Rubric
