Instructional Planning Grid Lesson Plan
Teacher: Ruben Villarreal

Subject: Science
1. Teks: 112.13. Science, Grade 2
Objective
Students will learn about the earths Water
Cycle and its significance.
Date: 01-15-16
Grade Level: 2
2. Big Understanding
The Water Cycle is worth knowing because the
quality and quantity of potable water impacts
everyones life - from ones health to their
finances. Students need to learn how to care
for this valuable natural resource.
3. Assessment Evidence
Students will be able to draw and label the water cycle. Students will also identify facts that
address the importance of water in our lives. Drinking, Cooking & Cleaning/Sanitation & Hygiene.
Identify environmental factors impacting water quality.
4. Opening Hook
Run and get a glass of water and put it on the table next to you. Take a good long look at the
water. Now -- can you guess how old it is? The water in your glass may have fallen from the sky
as rain just last week, but the water itself has been around pretty much as long as the earth has!
When the Brontosaurus walked through lakes feeding on plants, your glass of water was part of
those lakes. When kings and princesses, knights and squires took a drink from their wells, your
glass of water was part of those wells.
What would happen is people, animals and plants were deprived of water to drink?
What would happen if we didnt have water with which to cook?
What would happen if we didnt have water with which to clean?
5. Input
The water cycle is also known as the hydrologic cycle. A natural sequence of processes by
which water circulates between the earth's bodies of water & plants, atmosphere, and land,
involving precipitation, drainage in streams and rivers, and return to the atmosphere by
evaporation and transpiration.
The main parts of the water cycle.
Evaporation & Transpiration:
Evaporation is when the sun heats up water in rivers or lakes or the ocean and turns it into vapor
or steam. The water vapor or steam leaves the river, lake or ocean and goes into the air.
Do plants sweat?
Well, sort of.... People perspire (sweat) and plants transpire. Transpiration is the process by which
plants lose water out of their leaves. Transpiration gives evaporation a bit of a hand in getting the
water vapor back up into the air.
Condensation:
Water vapor in the air gets cold and changes back into liquid, forming clouds. This is called
condensation.
You can see the same sort of thing at home... Pour a glass of cold water on a hot day and watch

what happens. Water forms on the outside of the glass. That water didn't somehow leak through
the glass! It actually came from the air. Water vapor in the warm air, turns back into liquid when
it touches the cold glass.
Precipitation
Precipitation occurs when so much water has condensed that the air cannot hold it anymore. The
clouds get heavy and water falls back to the earth in the form of rain, hail, sleet or snow.
Collection
When water falls back to earth as precipitation, it may fall back in the oceans, lakes or rivers or it
may end up on land. When it ends up on land, it will either soak into the earth and become part
of the ground water that plants and animals use to drink or it may run over the soil and collect
in the oceans, lakes or rivers where the cycle starts all over again.
Modeling (Show) I will show a variety of illustrations and diagrams depicting the water cycle.
Element of Technology I will use technology by instructing students will go on-line and search
for a recorded experiment demonstrating the Water Cycle. I will also instruct students to search
for additional illustrations of the Water-Cycle.
Guided Practice (Follow me) I will move around room providing individual remediation as
needed. I will use the Praise, prompt, and leave strategy
Check for Understanding I will ask questions frequently to check for understanding. Asking
questions is a major key to effective teaching.
6. Materials/Resources
o A computer with a video projector to show students variety of images of the water cycle.
o Pencils, Colored pencils
o Paper
o B&W images of the water cycle to use in differentiated instruction
7. Grouping Patterns
o Groups of 4 so that students can learn from one another as well as share supplies
8. Ending - Summary/Reflection
o Facilitate a class discussion on what we learned.
o To check for understanding of all students, I will administer a quiz covering the main ideas
and concepts covered.
