Title of web site (1 pt.) The Water Cycle
Topic of Lesson (1 pt.) The Water Cycle
Goals of the Lesson (4 Students will know how the water cycle works,
pts.) and how it affects their lives daily.
Three Objectives (10 pts.) Students will be able to identify all four stages of
the water cycle.
Students will be able to describe how water changes
from one stage to another by adding or taking
away heat.
Students will be able to explain how the actions of
people can change the quality of the water cycle.
TECHNOLOGY (23 pts.)
Technology needed One computer for each student is required
to complete lesson (for Mrs. Kuschal’s class this means approximately
(3 pts.) 24 computers)
1st Technology standard G3-5: 2.13 Recognize and demonstrate
(5 pts.) ergonomically sound and safe use of equipment.

How your lesson will help Students are given the freedom to use a computer
students meet this independently, and will be reminded to conduct
standard (5 pts.) themselves in an appropriate and respectful
manner while in the computer lab. This behavior
includes proper use of computer stations,
following directions, etc. If they are unable to
demonstrate such behavior, they may be removed
from a computer station and given deskwork to do.
2nd Technology standard G3-5: 2.6 Analyze media messages and
(5 pts.) determine if their purpose is to inform,
persuade, or entertain
How your lesson will help Each video and audio clip is introduced with
meet this standard (5 questions. Students are expected to take time to
pts.) analyze each question, and thoughtfully answer
them either to themselves or on a piece of
paper.
LESSON PROCEDURE (36 pts.)
Describe how students Each student will be sitting individually at a
are grouped in the setting computer station
you listed above (3 pts.)
Materials needed KWL worksheet
(2 pts.) Assessment worksheet
List any teaching help you The classroom teacher will available to help
may have during this lesson
(2 pts.)
Introduction of Lesson First the students will be given a KWL worksheet
(3 pts.) (what you know, what you want to know, and
what you learned). They will be asked to fill out
the first two sections (K and W). Then the
students will be led to the computer lab, where
they will each sit at a station and be allowed to
roam the website freely (with the exception of
the quiz page).
Curriculum Framework 3rd grade – Earth Science: The Water Cycle In
that your lesson will help grades 3–5, students explore properties of
the students meet (5 geological materials and how they change. They
pts.) conduct tests to classify materials by observed
properties, make and record sequential
observations, note patterns and variations, and
look for factors that cause change. Students
observe weather phenomena and describe them
quantitatively using simple tools. They study the
water cycle, including the forms and locations of
water. The focus is on having students generate
questions, investigate possible solutions, make
predictions, and evaluate their conclusions.

Learning standards for grades 3–5 fall under the

following six subtopics: Rocks and Their
Properties; Soil; Weather; The Water Cycle;
Earth’s History; and
The Earth in the Solar System.
Lesson Procedure First the students will be given a KWL worksheet.
(8 pts.) They will be asked to fill out the first two sections
(K and W). Then the students will be lead to the
computer lab, where they will each sit at a
 station. The website will be presented as a giant
review, since they have been working on the
topic for a few classes already. They will be
instructed to roam the website individually for a
set amount of time, and they will not be allowed
to attempt the quiz until that time is up.
Following that, each student will attempt to
complete the quiz. After they finish the quiz, they
will be instructed to go back to the worksheet
and fill out the last column. Finally, the teacher
will ask the entire class to share at least one item
from each column, and select a few students to
present to the class.
How web site is used The website will provide a review for the
during lesson (8 pts.) students, and hopefully answer any questions
they still have on the topic. Also, as the students
roam the website they are expected to add to
their KWL sheet (in the L column). After a certain
amount of time designated by the teacher, the
students will
test their knowledge with a short quiz.
Wrap Up of Lesson The teacher will ask the entire class to share at
(5 pts.) least one item from each column of the KWL
sheet, and select a few students to present to the
class. Also, the students will be asked to full out a
quick assessment sheet.
ASSESSMENT (20 pts.)
How will students be After the students are done sharing, another
assessed? (5 pts.) worksheet will be passed out with a few
questions on it. This includes fill in the blank with
a word bank, and various simple short answer
questions. This is to be assigned as homework
the day the lesson is taught.
How will you know if All objectives will be directly connected to
students have met the questions on the assessment sheet.
objectives stated Questions include multiple choice, fill in the
above? (5 pts.) blank, and short answer.

Wrap Up Questions

The four stages of the Water Cycle are:

A) Rain, snow, sleet, hail
B) Evaporation, condensation, precipitation, accumulation
C) Run-off, water shed, pollution, dirt
D) Earth, wind, fire, water

The sun produces , which helps create water vapor so water can evaporate.

When water molecules down they turn into different types

of precipitation.

What are a few things humans do that hurt the Water Cycle?

What can humans do to help the Water Cycle?
