  1. Global Precipitation Measurement Mission Developed by the GPM Education and Public Outreach Team NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Revised Sept. 2018 Earth’s Water Cycle for Elementary School Students

  2. Guiding Questions The Big Picture: Why is it important to measure rain and snow around the globe? Earth’s Water: How much of Earth’s water is freshwater? Freshwater versus Saltwater: Which of these do we need for our survival? The Water Cycle: How does water move through the “water cycle? Precipitation: Where do rain and snow come from? Are these made up of freshwater or saltwater? GPM: How will the GPM mission measure precipitation all over the world? NASA and Earth Science: NASA is helping us learn about our home planet!

  3. ENGAGE

  4. Solid? Liquid? Gas?

  5. Water on Earth

  6. Water for Survival Why do we need water to meet our needs?

  7. How much water is on Earth’s surface?

  8. Saltwater versus Freshwater

  9. Water on Earth

  10. Where is our Freshwater?

  11. “Show Me the Water” video Show Me the Water Link to GPM movie

  12. Earth’s Water Cycle

  13. Earth’s Water Cycle

  14. Measuring Rainfall • Most of the water we use everyday comes from precipitation. • It is important to measure how much precipitation is falling all over the world. • We can measure precipitation using rain gauges, radar, and even from space using satellites!

  15. “For Good Measure”

  16. Questions? • Do you have any questions about Earth’s water cycle and how we are learning more about it?
