Think About a Water Molecule
Think About a Water Molecule
A water molecule can move from place to place.
It can blow through the sky in a mass of water vapor or as part of a drop of liquid water in a cloud.
It can flow down a mountain in a river.
It can move through the ocean in currents.

Fill in Location space after each roll of the die.
RolesStarter - in charge of rolling dieReader - reads directions from Water-Location Poster and figures out where the group heads next
Recorder - records the location and the changes (if any) that occurred to molecule after each roll of die
Monitor - makes sure everyone in group stays together throughout its travels

Game RulesGame RulesStart at assigned location, record
Roll die. Find die number on poster.
Read statement to find where to go next
Depending on result above, roll die again or move to new location
Continue rolling die, moving, and recording location until all spaces are filled
Return to desks after roll 10.

How Does Water Move Around the Environment?
How Does Water Move Around the Environment?
Water evaporates from the oceanTurns liquid water into water vapor
Water vapor enters atmosphere and lifted upwardCondenses into clouds of tiny liquid droplets
Clouds move over landWater falls as precipitation
Precipitation flows downhillEventually returns to ocean
Compare your results to the above

Refining the Water Cycle
Refining the Water Cycle
Any time a molecule leaves a location and returns to that location, it has gone through a cycle.
Some cycles are short and simple.
Some cycles are long and complex.
Two meanings of Water CycleGeneral system shown on poster - evaporation, condensation, precipitation, accumulation
Smaller, more complex water cycles

Water Cycle SummaryWater Cycle SummaryWhat are your insights about movement of water through the environment?
Water cycle = water in motionWater leaves Earth’s surfaceMoves to new location as vapor and clouds
Returns to Earth’s surface as precipitation
Huge cycles that take a long timeSmall water cycles

Questions from last class
What prevents us from running out of water?
Where does new water come from?Answer is The Water Cycle!Water cycle constantly redistributes water all over the planet - recycle
Water vapor condenses into liquid and solid water - precipitation
Precipitation delivers new water

Weather RoleWeather RoleWater cycle plays a major role in the kind of weather we have
Water condensing in sky = cloudy weather
Water returning to Earth’s surface = rain or snow
In hot weather, lots of water evaporates = humid weather
Each part of water cycle produces some kind of weather

VocabularyVocabularySalt water - water found in the oceans.Contains dissolved salts and other materials
Fresh water - water containing little or no saltLocated in atmosphere, glaciers, ice caps, lakes, rivers, streams, soils, and groundwater
Water Cycle - general process that recycles water by evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and flow
