How do water molecules move when heated or cooled? Where do you find the effects of evaporation and condensation?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u><strong>Materials:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/u>Open Space, Paper, Pencils, <a href=\"https:\/\/tedb-old.byu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Water-Cycle-Picture.docx\"><strong>Water Cycle picture<\/strong> <\/a>(or markers to draw it on board)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Hook\/Pre-Assessment: Becoming Water<\/u><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Find your own spot in the room<\/li>\n<li>Now imagine yourself as a water molecule<\/li>\n<li>Start my moving your head, how would a water molecule move its head and neck<\/li>\n<li>Now move your shoulders like a water molecule. Arms. Hands. Hips, Legs, Feet, Toes.<\/li>\n<li>Begin to move around the room as a water molecule. What kind of pathways does water make. Does water change levels? Remember to keep moving all parts of your body as a water molecule. When you pass by another water molecule, how do you respond?<\/li>\n<li>The room is starting to heat up and the ice melts. But the room keeps heating up. Hotter and hotter until all of the water in the room does what: evaporates. What does water turn into after evaporating? Water vapor. How does water vapor move differently from liquid water? More quickly, floating, bouncing off walls.<\/li>\n<li>Now the room is cooling down a little bit and the water molecules change into liquid again. This is called what? Condensation.<\/li>\n<li>The room is becoming colder. How does this affect a water molecule? Colder and colder until it changes states. Shout out the name of frozen water: ice.<\/li>\n<li>Water molecules do not stop moving when frozen, they just move slower. What kind of structure do water molecules form when frozen? Crystalized structures. Think about a snowflake, a lot of intricate straight lines. How can you move like water molecules in a crystalized structure? Sharp movements, angular. Now freeze completely.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Discussion\/Transition<\/u><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Let\u2019s group up and talk about your experience<\/li>\n<li>How did you show you were a water molecule? What did you discover about how water molecules move?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Lesson: Reviewing the Water Cycle\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When you were water molecules, I tested in about some of the water cycle vocabulary. Let\u2019s review the entire water cycle so we can do more drama work with it.<\/li>\n<li>Water cycle picture with missing words\n<ul>\n<li>Invite students up to fill in words (evaporation, condensation, participation)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>What is evaporation? When water is heated, it becomes water vapor\n<ul>\n<li>Where does water vapor go, what do they become when they group together? (clouds)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>What is condensation? When water vapor cools, it turns back into liquid water.\n<ul>\n<li>Where can you find the effects of condensation? (Dew on leaves, water drops on the outside of a can)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>What is the participation? (Rain or snow)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Activity: Devising<\/u><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We going to devise a performance about the water cycle\n<ul>\n<li>Devising means improvising a scene. Creating a play by pretending.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Pass out paper and pencils\n<ul>\n<li>Before we begin devising, write down some questions that you could ask a water molecule that is going to through the water cycle. Also, write down questions that you have about the process of the water cycle and making it into a play?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Turn to a partner and read your questions. Try to answer them together!<\/li>\n<li>Now as a group, are there any interesting or difficult questions we could discuss as a class?<\/li>\n<li>Next, we are going to dividing into three groups: Evaporation, Condensation, and Precipitation.\n<ul>\n<li>In your groups, start devising a short scene about your word. How can you move your bodies in interesting ways to show your part of the water cycle? How can you answer some of your questions?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Give time to devise<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Assessment:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Each group shares their scene.
