Lesson Plan

Chasing Raindrops Lesson Plan

Students will identify and describe the four main stages of the water cycle—evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection—through visualization, digital simulation, and guided practice.

Understanding the water cycle helps students connect classroom science to real-world weather patterns, fosters environmental awareness, and lays groundwork for future earth science concepts.
