The Water Cycle Bundle by Science Doodles

Directions Click the blue headings to jump to that part of the PDF.

This unit bundle PDF includes:

1. Foldable 1: The Water Cycle

This is a great way to introduce the water cycle. This can also be used as an assessment. Put

a word bank on the board for slower learners.

Black and white and color keys included

2. Foldable 2: The Water Cycle Notes

This is an overview about water in the water cycle. Great study guide for task card activity.


3. Foldable/Demo 3: All the Water on the Earth

This foldable is a great in-class demonstration to show how much salt water and fresh water

are in the earth. It is a fun visual for the students! An instruction sheet for the in-class demo

is included; please read all the directions before you begin.


4. Vocabulary Set

There are a variety of ways to use these. For slow learners, you can give them the sheet

with the definitions already written out, and for other students, give them the blank sheet

included in the unit.

Black and white and color keys included in full and partial sets for slower learners

5. Writing prompt

This is a great writing activity, or use this for early finishers. If time allows, share the

impressive papers with the class.

6. The Water Cycle Lab

A half-sheet lab form for the students is included, as well as a lab instruction sheet for the

teacher.

Unit Bundle Directions


7. My Life as a Drop of Water

This can be used instead of the writing prompt. My class loved this and did very well. I gave

them a sheet of notebook paper for their story and then had them glue it on a large sheet

of construction paper and illustrate. I had several students share them with the class and

we discussed the steps in the water cycle.

8. Task Cards

My room is not set up to put all the students in a circle, so we go in the hallway to do this

activity. I have the students bring their blank answer form into the hallway with a pencil.

I usually make them sit boy/girl/boy to keep them better behaved. I pass out the cards in

order of the numbers. (This is important for order.) Give the first student number 1 and

then number 2 next and so on. I stand in the middle of the circle and hold a bell. I tell the

students to all answer their card and quietly hold it up in front of their face when they are

finished and ready for the next question. I ring the bell and they all pass their cards to the

next person. I watch them and ring the bell when I notice they are ready. They all answer the

next card and pass it on only when the bell sounds. At the end of the activity, we go back

in the room and I put up the answer key on the overhead. They check and grade them. I call

out card numbers and if anyone missed a question, I read it in class and we discuss it. I call

on someone who got it right to explain it. I LOVE task card activities. It is a great way to

check for understanding before the test. I have found that my students do much better on

the test after going through this activity. They like doing them, too. Another option is use

them as a station or in pairs.

Another option is to put each card under the projector, one at a time. The students answer

each question and grade and turn in their answer sheets.

Key included

9. Everything I Learned This Year Glue-in

This is a list of all the concept topics that we will cover this year in science. I will offer a

bundle on each of the concepts. You can have your students glue the list to the inside front

cover of their interactive notebooks. My students check off each concept as we learn it.

10. Science Weekly Warm-up

This year my classes are very short and I don’t have a lot of time for warm-up, but I want the

students to come in my class, be quiet, and gear up their brains for science. This is a quick,

easy tool to do just that. I am going back and adding these to all my units over time. I really

love how it is quick and simple and we can get right to the lesson. I take them up Friday for

a daily grade.

Key included


Also included in folder:

3 Movies for Printing and Folding

The best way to print the foldables is to watch the movie before going to the printer so you

can know the orientation of how to print them front to back. After printing the foldables

correctly, either show the videos to the students or instruct students how to fold the

foldables.

Printing:

Open PDFs with Adobe Reader and print “actual size.”

My Typical Week:

I usually teach one science concept per week following this format:

Thanks for purchasing a Science Doodles unit!

Please leave me feedback and let me know how it worked for your class. Have fun with it!

Foldable 2: The Water Cycle Notes

Foldable/Demo 3: All the Water in

the Earth

All the Earth’s WaterA Class Demonstration

Purpose:To allow students to see a scaled model of the Earth’s water and how it is distributed.

Materials:Seven one-liter plastic bottles

Blue food coloring

Pencil and blue crayon

All the Water on the Earth Science Doodles foldable

Directions:1. Fill each bottle with the exact amount of colored water shown in the table below. I

used a Sharpie and wrote the mL amounts on the bottom of each bottle. Label each

bottle with the type of water. Then hide the bottles in a bag or box.

Measured amounts in each bottle:All the water in the earth 1000 mL

Sat water (oceans) 972 mL

Fresh water 28 mL

Ice caps & glaciers 23.5 mL

Ground water 4 mL

Lakes & rivers 2 drops

Water in the soil & air 1 drop

2. Hand out the All the Water on the Earth notebook sheet to students and have them

glue it in their ISN.

3. Show the full water bottle (1000 mL) and tell the students it represents all the water

in the earth. Ask them to predict how much of all the water in the earth is in the

oceans (salt water). Have students draw a pencil mark on their corresponding bottle

on their worksheets. They can also write their prediction (a number between 1 and

1000) just outside the square.

4. Reveal to students the salt water bottle. Talk about the students’ guesses and see if

anyone guessed correctly.

5. Ask students to do the math and come up with the “leftover” that represents the

fresh water total. Explain that all water falls into two categories: salt water and fresh

water. Fresh water is equal to 28 mL (1000 – 972 = 28).

6. Continue the process of predictions for each category. Do not reveal the next bottle

until the students have an opportunity to mark on their worksheet and guess the

number of mL for each category.

7. At each step have the students write the correct mL amount and color the correct

level with a blue crayon.

8. Ask the students the following questions:

Were you surprised at any of the amounts?

Do you feel the need to conserve water?

Does the amount of water on the earth ever change? (No, it just cycles around.)

What do these bottles represent for science? (All the water in the Earth)

Why do we need models in science? (To better understand the world around us and

help us make informed decisions)

Have fun with this!

You are a drop of water going through the water cycle. Where do you go? How do you get there? What processes do you go through? Include at least three phases of the water cycle.

bottle about three-quarters from the top.

2. Let the students add the ice to the top portion of

the bottle turned upside-down (as shown).

3. Warm up some water and pour into the bottom

portion of each bottle (as shown). I have a tea pot

in my room and warm up the water on a hot plate. You can also use a microwave. As

the students moved back and hold the ice, pour about a cup of warm/hot water in.

(The hotter the better, as long as it’s not hot enough to melt the plastic.)

4. Have the students quickly put the top, turned upside-down with ice inside, back on.

5. Have the students use their lab worksheet to illustrate what happened, like the

example shown. Check to make sure they illustrate the clouds, too. I had each group

share how many drops fell and hit the water.

I tell the kids that it rained in the classroom! Have fun with this!
