A glass of water may not seem very complicated. Yet water can be a fascinating topic, full of opportunities for hands-on learning. Today’s sites include dozens of activities and experiments for the young and curious ready to learn about the exciting life of a simple drop of water.
Annenberg Learner: The Water Cycle
“If you live in the United States, there are 40 trillion gallons of water above your head on an average day. Each day, about four trillion gallons of this water fall to Earth as precipitation, such as rain, snow, or hail.” This one-page intro to the water cycle is part of Annenberg Learner’s Weather module.
Environmental Education for Kids! The Water Cycle
“Infiltration happens when water soaks into the soil from the ground level. It moves underground and moves between the soil and rocks.” For elementary students, EEK! offers a clickable water-cycle diagram, with a quiz, word search and a water poem. “The glass of water you’re about to drink / Deserves a second thought, I think.”
NASA: Precipitation Education
With videos, articles, glossary, FAQ and interactive activities for K-12, NASA has lots of resources for learning about the water cycle, weather, and climate. “Contrary to popular belief, raindrops are not tear shaped and are actually shaped like the top of a hamburger bun, round on the top and flat on the bottom.”
