Water, Water Everywhere: The Water Cycle (ages 10-13)

Learners will improve their understanding of of the water cycle as found only on planet Earth.

I have taught biology at the high school level in both public schools and home schools. My first college degree is in Secondary Education (grades 6-12) with four concentrations (including biology, Earth science, and life science) so I am certified to teach this subject at those levels. I have also taught Human Anatomy and Physiology as well as Earth Science at the college level.

Learners may need extra time after class to complete their hand-outs. Learners will benefit most if they read over any material that they can find about the water cycle prior to the class time.

Learners will be assessed by informal assessment. A handout will be provided before the first class. The students will complete this during class. This handout can also be used by parents as an informal assessment at home after class. 

A vocabulary quiz is available at:    https://quizlet.com/_8nwzi1?x=1jqt&i=320l2k

30 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

We will be using some materials from the websites listed below. Learners are encouraged to study the websites before and/or after this class meets. Parental supervision for any online computer activities is always recommended.
