Looking for Water Cycle Worksheets? Try our Flipbook

Understanding the difference between each step in the water cycle can be tricky for students to navigate as they learn how water travels around the Earth. Regardless if you are looking for a homework packet to send home with your students, a whole-class activity, or a self-guided packet, you have come to the right place! Teach Starter has developed a flipbook for your 4th and 5th-year students during your water cycle unit.

This resource covers the following topics:

• Evaporation
• Condensation
• Precipitation
• Collection
• Transpiration
• The Water Cycle

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding 

A team of dedicated, experienced educators created this resource to support your science lessons. 

In addition to individual student work time, use this flipbook to enhance learning through small groups, whole class lessons, or remote learning assignments. 

If you have a mixture of above and below-level learners, check out these suggestions for keeping students on track with the concepts: 

🆘 Support Struggling Students

If students need additional support, consider partnering them with a student to help them with the reading material. Additionally, invite students to reference posters or anchor charts, reminding them of how materials can break down, move to a different location, and build up over time.

➕ Challenge Fast Finishers

For students looking for an additional challenge, please encourage them to create a comic or infographic showing the differences between weathering, erosion, and deposition.
