PA Academic Standards for the Arts & Humanities
9.1.3:
A. Know and use the elements and principles of each art form to create works in the arts and humanities
E. Demonstrate the ability to define objects, express emotions, illustrate an action or relate an experience through creation of works in the arts.
G. Recognize the function of rehearsals and practice sessions.
PA Academic Standards for Science and Technology and Engineering Education
3.2.3.A3. - Demonstrate how heating and cooling may cause changes in the properties of materials including phase changes.
3.3.3.A4. - Connect the various forms of precipitation to the weather in a particular place and time.
3.3.3.A5. - Explain how air temperature, moisture, wind speed and direction, and precipitation make up the weather in a particular place and time.
Materials
--chart paper and various colored markers
Objectives
1. Students will be able to describe the water cycle.
2. Students will be able to illustrate the water cycle.
3. Students will be able to demonstrate the phases of the water cycle using physical motions.
Procedure
1. Review the phases of the water cycle and use student input to illustrate the phases on chart paper.
2. Split the class into 4 equal groups and assign each group a phase of the water cycle: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection.
3. Ask each group to create a physical movement to illustrate their phase of the cycle.
Application
When everyone is finished, ask the class to demonstrate the entire cycle; each group in order.
Elaboration
Ask each group to teach the class their phase's movement. Then each group will "perform" the entire cycle.
Evaluation
Each student will later explain re-create the diagram the class created, then re-teach cycle to the teacher with the diagram as an aid.
