Creative Writing – Write a story from the point of view of a water droplet as it<br />
experiences the full water cycle. When does the story begin? Where does the water<br />
droplet end up?<br />
Picture dictionary – Create a picture dictionary using vocabulary words from the<br />
video. Be sure to use accurate illustrations to describe each word.<br />
Interview – Contact your local meteorologist and ask to conduct an interview. Think of<br />
questions related to the water cycle. Report your interview findings to your class.<br />
Cultural Impact – You have learned that without the water cycle, people would not be<br />
able to live away from sources of water. Research an area of the world that receives<br />
little rainfall – how do the people there adapt to their conditions?<br />
Too much rain – There are some parts of the world that regularly receive a lot of rain.<br />
Why do these areas flood? How does rainfall affect the lives of the people in this area?<br />
Do your research on the Internet or in your library.<br />
Rain gauge – If it is the rainy season where you live, create a rain gauge (you can use<br />
a container and mark your measurements on the side) and record the rain you get in a<br />
period of time on a table. Make a line graph showing the pattern of rainfall you<br />
received.<br />
Create a game – Before your next P.E. class, create a physical game that you can play<br />
to help reinforce some of the concepts of the video. Be creative, but use evidence from<br />
the program.<br />
Game Show – With a group of students, create a game quiz show to practice your<br />
knowledge of the water cycle. Fashion the game after your favorite TV game show or<br />
be creative and make up your own format.<br />
Board games – Create a board game for other students. The game should include all<br />
of the elements of the water cycle. Test it out on your classmates to see if it is fun and<br />
educational.<br />
Poster – Make a poster showing the water cycle. Be sure to label your drawings and<br />
make your poster visually appealing.<br />
Bumper sticker – Create a bumper sticker encouraging people to conserve water.<br />
How many people will place your bumper sticker on their cars?<br />
