Science - Water Cycle - Cause and Effect!

Once again, your amazing Student Teacher Mr N led a fantastic lesson exploring The Water Cycle. He discussed with the children what Cause & Effect is and showed them a short video explaining what the words Cause & Effect mean. After this he conducted a play using props showing the sun, clouds, rain and the ocean which demonstrated the four stages of The Water Cycle (evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection). From here, he did an experiment using hot water in a large bowl, a small cup as the collection cup, glad wrap over the bowl and then ice cubes on top of the glad wrap. We watched as condensation formed underneath the gladwrap and some of the water was collected in the small cup. This was a fantastic lesson Mr N and the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves! You are a star!!!

  1. Cameron was very taken with these experiments and he retold to me what they had done and what occurred in great detail. He then googled the water cycle and showed me the song on his iPad. Obviously this lesson was a hit with him. Well done Mr N.
