Activator
Where is more than 97%
of the Earth’s total water
supply found?
Where does the energy
that drives the water
cycle come from?
What is evaporation?
Water molecules are
polar; what does that
mean?
What is capillary action?
Teaching Strategies:
Notes/Discussion:
Students will learn about
the water cycle and how
it drives the Earth’s
systems.
Students will complete
an activity identifying
all of the processes of
the water cycle, and a
vocabulary activity.
Students will take a quiz
over the water cycle.
Students will continue
with notes/discussion of
fresh water systems.
Students will take a quiz
over fresh water
systems.
