Purpose
This activity will introduce students to the Hydrological Cycle in a fun role playing game. Students will be “parts” of the water cycle and will learn the various stages of water that can be found on earth and its atmosphere. Students will become an active water cycle!
Key Messages
- water is found in different forms
- water changes forms
- water is in a continuous cycle, the Hydrological Cycle
