Water Cycle

Over the last five weeks second graders were part of a science unit learning about the water cycle. Students have been learning about three parts of the water cycle: evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. Students learned a song to help them remember which way the water moves in each phase of the water cycle. During this unit we created a mini water cycle in the classroom; this helped the students understand and see the three parts of the water cycle first hand. At Highland Forest these students were the "experts" as we introduced a "Water Cycle Game."
