Learning About the Water Cycle

Dear fellow teachers,

In this Ebook I will be explaining to third graders what the water cycle is. This lesson will fall
under the science unit. I will explain to them how the water cycle works and how it applies to our
environment and our world. My goal for this lesson is that they will understand how the water cycle
works and then be able to explain it to others.

The E-book was very simple to understand and it was something I’ve never done or
used before. I think the E-book would be very beneficial in the classroom especially if a student
is out sick and missed the lesson. E-book is very valuable tech tool. It was valuable because I
was able to include everything I needed in just one document. The hyperlinks are good because
they take you right to where you need to be instead of having to copy and paste everything.
