It is water cycle time! The best part about the water cycle is all of the activities that come with it! We have so much fun when we are learn about the water cycle that we often forget we are learning! Let’s talk about some Water Cycle Activities!
Water Cycle Anchor Chart
If you’ve been following for a while, you know how much I LOVE anchor charts. (If not, check out this blog post!) I find them incredibly versatile and an important part of the learning process.
The Bag Experiment
This is an oldie but an absolute goodie!! I LOVE putting some water in a bag about 30% full, then adding blue dye to it. Before we put it on the wall (or add water) we label the parts of the water cycle. Then we hang it on the window. After a day or two, the water will “rain” inside the bag. It’s really cool to see the process and how the water moves through the process right before our very eyes!
Water Cycle Craft
This is not mine but we LOVE creating this together. This video will show the students how to make a 3D water cycle model!
Want to save this for later?
We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!
Science Projects
I really love hosting science projects. These are quite fun and will be extremely helpful when my kids have a few minutes of “down time.” My kids have a fascination with working on science projects. I tend to give it to them as enrichment and then I let them work on it as morning work as well. The kids absolutely love working on it and learning about the water cycle by themselves.
Make the Water Cycle fun!!
Making things fun is always really hard! However, you know that if you can add a little (itty bit) of chaos to the normal day, you can make it insanely fun. The best part is that the kids will remember the topic or skills at hand.
Water Cycle Activities for 5th Grade
Interested in the science project? I can for sure help you with that. Head to my store to check out the awesome Water Cycle Science project that you can assign and go (or print and go)!
