Water Cycle Lesson Craft

The water cycle, also known as the hydrologic cycle, is a continuous process that describes the movement of water on, above, and below the Earth's surface. It involves several key stages:

• Evaporation: Water from oceans, lakes, and rivers evaporates into the atmosphere, turning from liquid to vapor due to the sun's heat.

  
  

• Condensation: Water vapor cools and condenses into clouds, forming tiny water droplets.

  
  

• Precipitation: Eventually, the droplets combine and fall back to the Earth's surface as rain, snow, or other forms of precipitation.

  
  

• Collection: Water collects in bodies of water, infiltrates the ground, and the cycle repeats.

• 
  

  This cycle is essential for maintaining life on Earth, regulating climate, and shaping ecosystems.

I just saw a TikTok video of a mom teaching her child through crafts, and I love her creative mindset. It’s a great example of learning through play—scaffolding can really be that simple. What are some creative ways you scaffold learning for your little learners?
