Pre-Assessment:
Water Cycle Game:
- Nine special cubes or die with movement instructions (download and print these files)
- Nine station illustrations or signs (download and print these files)
- A timer
- Any noisemaker, such as a bell or whistle
- Nine different colors of beads or paper strips (other than black)
- Something to string the beads on as they're collected.

Activity #5 of this lesson is a great way to check for understanding:
- Have students write an essay describing the water cycle and how water can take different paths through the cycle or they can use their own trackers to write creative story about the places water might visit in its movements.
