This water cycle lesson includes a 3-day module on the water cycle with formative assessments (warm-ups & exit tickets), flashcards, and a project. The project helps students recognize local water cycle stages that happen in/around their home, community, or state. The project also challenges students to collaboratively create their own water cycle diagram. The Google Slides format allows educators to copy and modify the materials to fit their needs and can be accessed here: http://bit.ly/localwatercycle.

In this STEM lesson, students are challenged to create and test a water filtering system. The STEM activities in this lesson focus on water recovery and management. Students will design and build a water filtration device, test the device, make observations, and collect data. They will collaborate as they analyze results and attempt to idenity the best filter media to use. Based on their analysis and on study of other filtration devices, they will make modifications to their model and repeat the process in an effort to produce the most effective filtration apparatus possible. Lastly, students will compare individual results and communicate their results to the larger community.

Using the provided supplies, students are challenged to design, create and test a marble run. The marble-man will drop from the marble run “water slide” into a water “pool”. Using a yardstick, measure how far from the front edge of the container “pool” the marbled landed and record. The goal is for the marble to go as far into the “pool” as possible.

In this STEM lesson, student pairs design and construct small, wind-powered sail cars using limited quantities of drinking straws, masking tape, paper and beads. Teams compete to see which sail car travels the farthest when pushed by the wind (simulated by the use of an electric fan). Students learn about wind and kinetic and renewable energy, and follow the steps of the engineering design process to imagine, create, test, evaluate and refine their sail cars.
