The Groundwater Foundation has released a new (free) series of online resources for parents and teachers to learn about groundwater in the classroom or at home.
After understanding groundwater basics in Lesson 1, Lesson 2 explores the water cycle – the constant move of water in the environment.
Water is always on the move. From the time the earth was formed, it has been endlessly circulating through the hydrologic cycle. Groundwater is an important part of this continuous cycle as water evaporates, forms clouds, and returns to earth as precipitation.
The videos of this lesson are broken into 2 – one for K-3 and one geared towards grades 4-8. Also check out the Water Cycle song/video!
Along with the coloring sheets and word searches that are included in every lesson – Lesson 2 includes a paper craft, water cycle experiment, and an activity to measure and track how much water you use in a day.
