The teacher will make the water
cycle experiment, using a
glass/plastic bowl she will put the

inside the bowel.

Before covering the bowl with the

plastic wrap explain to student’s

and an ice cube on the plastic wrap

to demonstrate precipitation.

Plan B:
In case the experiment did not work, let
the students match the names of the
water cycle stages with the picture, and
arrange them on ascending order.
Differentiation activities (Support)

Before you send the students to their groups, give them instructions about what should they do.
For high level students:

Color and complete the cycle using these words

Precipitation, evaporation and condensation, they will write the names of the stages
beside the description, and on the picture.

For mid- level students:

Color and complete the cycle using these words
Precipitation, evaporation and condensation, they will write the names of the stages on
the picture.

For low level students:

Color and complete the cycle using these words
Precipitation, evaporation and condensation, they will cut the names of the stages and
stick it on the picture.
