  • 5th grade https://www.cpalms.org/Public/PreviewResourceLesson/Preview/29793
Water, Water Everywhere! Research the Water Cycle asks students to conduct their own research on the water cycle (hydrologic cycle). Working collaboratively in small groups, students will research and write about the relationships between stages in the water cycle and the three states of matter relating to water. After completing this lesson, students will be prepared to create a model of the water cycle.
  • 1st grade https://www.cpalms.org/Public/PreviewResourceUpload/Preview/13361
This lesson uses pictures and a story to illustrate why we need water and the difference between safe and unsafe practices around water.
  • High School https://www.cpalms.org/Public/PreviewResourceLesson/Preview/128761 5E lesson
Students will be learning about natural resources and the human impact on them. Specifically, students will discover where local water sources are and how much water is available within the community using research skills. Students will also design experiments to collect data and discover how residents of the community are using the water and how much they are using. Lastly, they will take the information they discover and the data they collect to hypothesize what the local human impact will be on the water source.
