SubjectWater Cycle

Original Prompt

create an art project for science that students develop a model to explain how water cycles from the Earth’s surface to the atmosphere and back again. In the activity, Make It Rain, students create simple models of the ocean and sky to see how these two systems interact. Students compare how the temperature of the ocean and the temperature of the sky affect evaporation and condensation

This resource guides students through the water cycle by creating a visual comic strip model that illustrates how water transitions between different states. The lesson includes vocabulary definitions for evaporation, condensation, and water vapor, along with examples. Students will sketch and depict the journey of a water droplet, including the effects of temperature on evaporation and condensation, and visualize ocean temperatures' impact on this cycle. Additionally, students are encouraged to reflect on temperature changes and the role of gravity in precipitation.
