Lesson: Science
Objective:
· Students will understand where water comes from that falls as rain.
· Students will understand what made the cloud turn to water.
Materials:
· A teakettle
· Water
· Hot plate
· Ice cubes
· Pencil
· Weather folder
Anticipatory Set:
· Ask students what they know about rain.
· Talk to students about how rain comes from the water vapor droplets in the air. Ask them if they remember the book we read about clouds.
· Tell the students that I am going to make it rain in the classroom today.
Procedure:
· Have all materials set up in the front of the classroom. Have students sit a safe distance away from me and the hot water. Explain to the my expectations:
o Be very good listeners.
o Sit criss cross.
o Don’t move around at all because the water is hot.
· Explain to them what I have gotten ready. I put water in the kettle and have ice in the tray.
· As the water boils ask the students what they see. Direct them to understand that is a steam cloud forming.
· Place the ice cubes in the pan and hold the pan over the kettle. As the water droplets are forming on the pan direct students to understand where the water droplets are coming from.
· Let the students watch the rain.
· Have them return to their desk and take out their weather folder.
· Discuss the first question, “Where did the water come from?” Have the students talk about this and then write their response.
· Next discuss the second question, “What made cloud turn to water?” Again having students write about what they saw.
Conclusion:
· Have the students talk about what we learned.
o Where did the water come from?
o Why did it start to rain from the steam cloud?
o What was your favorite part of this experiment?
Evaluation:
· Student was able to write what the steam cloud was made of.
· Student was able to write about where the water from the bottom of the pan came from.
