Water is something we use on a daily basis for so many different things, but where does it come from? In this lesson, students will learn how the water cycle works and do a hands-on demonstration to model it. The teacher will walk students through the cycle step-by-step as they use a cup of water, cotton ball, and a construction paper sun for the demonstration.

Written in collaboration with Ivy Miller, a Tennessee educator, as part of our e-STEM for Tennessee’s Teachers program.
