Water Cycle Introduction

Water Cycle WebQuest

Welcome!

• ​Today we are going to embark on a quest to discover the parts of the water cycle.

• ​Read each part of this presentation carefully, it will give you all the information you need to be successful in your quest!

​Introduction

• ​Have you ever wondered where snow or rain comes from? Have you ever pondered why the grass is frosty or wet in the mornings? These questions can all be answered by learning about the water cycle!

​

The water cycle, or hydrologic cycle if you're fancy, refers to the cycle of processes that water circulates through that drives the processes of evaporation, condensation and transpiration.

​Task

• Your quest is to use this webquest to answer the questions I have prepared for you in this presentation.

• ​Using the questions you answered and the links to websites I have provided, you will use your creativity to create a video presentation of what you have learned on the webquest about the water cycle.

  • ​I will provide full instructions for your presentation after you complete the webquest!

​Process: Step 1: Research!

• ​Here we go! Step one of our webquest is researching the water cycle.

• ​The best way to do this is to open a window next to this presentation to access the links where you will find the answers to the questions I ask!

• ​Here's your first link, directly from NASA, a trusted source of information for Earth Scientists!
