Lesson 2 : Lab

Time Required: 200 minutes

View a demonstration and go on a water cycle journey as a water droplet, students compare paths and draw a visual model that explains how water moves through the water cycle.

MS-ESS2-4

Develop a model to describe the cycling of water through Earth's systems driven by energy from the sun and the force of gravity. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on the ways water changes its state as it moves through the multiple pathways of the hydrologic cycle. Examples of models can be conceptual or physical.] [Assessment Boundary: A quantitative understanding of the latent heats of vaporization and fusion is not assessed.]
