Comment on this resource
In this activity, younger students will construct a model which will allow them to identify the components of the water cycle and observe processes involved in the movement of water through the various components of the cycle. This activity can be done at home with common household materials and could be used by students who are home schooled. They will be able to infer evaporation and observe condensation, precipitation, and runoff.
