• Content Area: Science
• Grade Level: 4th
• Summary: The purpose of this instructional PowerPoint is
to help learners develop a perceptive of the water cycle. To
help students understand the continuous cycle that water
goes through.
• Learning Objective:
• describe the water cycle.
• understand the parts of the water cycle: evaporation,
condensation, and precipitation.
• Content Standard: 8
• Accomplishment: Students will successfully be able to discuss
and label the water cycle.
Evaporation• The sun heats the
water in rivers, lakes, and the ocean and turns in into vapor or steam
Transpiration• Occurs when water
from the plants leaves evaporate, causing more water vapor into the air
Sleet• Formed when
newly formed snow form clouds pass through warm temperatures, causing rain, then warm temperatures causing sleet
Hail• Forms by very cold
water droplets in a cloud collide with condensation. When the hail stone becomes to big to be held by gravity, it falls from the cloud
Runoff• the water from the
precipitation stays on the earth’s surface and some flows into rivers, lakes and reservoirs

Conclusion
Today we learned about the life cycle of water. The life cycle of water is a never ending process. The precipitation that falls helps to water the earth which in turn provides water to the plants and trees. The plants provide food for animals and oxygen for humans. The life cycle of water is a very important part of the earth.
