In this session, we will be learning about 4 stages of the water cycle by creating our own diagram using different art mediums. This activity shows the path that a droplet of water takes as it goes on a journey throughout the world. The recommended age group for this project is 4-10 years old, although all ages are welcome!
MATERIALS NEEDED:
- Paper Plate - Paper - Preferably Color Pencils/ Markers, but you can also use a pencil. - Scissors - Sharpie/ Marker - Tape
HOW TO
Step 1: Draw 4 clouds on a sheet of paper, big enough to demonstrate each stage inside of it. * In Steps 2-6, you can be as creative as you like! * Step 2: Draw a puddle of water and the sun, with the steam rising up on the first cloud to show evaporation. Step 3: Draw a water bottle with mist inside of it on the second cloud to show condensation. Step 4: Draw a stormy cloud inside the third cloud, with lighting and rain to show precipitation. Step 5: Draw a river going down a mountain on the last cloud to show runoff. Step 6: Color and cut out your beautiful clouds! Step 7: Tape the clouds onto the edges of the paper plate, right side up, in the four "corners." Step 8 (Optional): Draw and cut out a water droplet to tape to the middle of the paper plate. Step 9: Draw arrows going from one cloud to the next in a clockwise direction on the plate. Step 10: Share your knowledge about the water cycle to your friends and family!
THE LESSON
Throughout this class, we will be describing the process of the water cycle. The kids would learn the steps that a water droplet goes through by drawing and explaning the four stages- evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff. This guided activity ensures that they understand and remember what they learn about the cycle of water and creativity and hands-on learning with their critical thinking. You can find our science explanations in the presentation below!
