Water
Cycle Extra Credit Project
We have been learning about the water cycle in Science the
past few days and the students have shown a real interest on the topic. Since
they are so interested, I thought it would be fun for them to create their very
own water cycle. This will be counted as an extra credit grade; therefore, it
is completely optional. Please keep in mind it will not count against your
grade if you choose not to do it, but it will help improve your grade if you
choose to do it. For the extra credit project the student will need to draw and
illustrate a water cycle on a half sheet of poster board. The sky is the
limit on what they want to include or what resources they want to use. All I ask is that it is on a ½ sheet of
poster board, is colorful, is unique, and is clearly labeled. The stages
(terms) that need to be labeled are evaporation, condensation, precipitation,
runoff, transpiration, evaporation, and groundwater. There is an example
in their textbook on pages 214-215, as well as countless examples/ideas on the
internet. This is meant to be a fun learning experience not a stressful one. So
have them take their time and do the very best they can do, that is all that I
am asking! I cannot wait to see the turn out!
