Water Cycle Song Tune of “She’ll Be Coming Around the Mountain”

Record song in your science notebook:

Water travels in a cycle, yes it does (use pointer finger to make a big circle)

Water travels in a cycle, yes it does (repeat finger circle)

It goes up as evaporation (moves hands up to the sky)

Forms clouds as condensation (make a cloud overhead with arms)

Then comes down as precipitation, yes it does!

Song found from: Mrs. Lirette’s Learning

•Can’t see water vapor, but it is all around us

2nd Graders Explaining the Water Cycle

Water Cycle Stop Motion

We will also create a stop motion explanation of the water cycle on our iPads.

Watch another 2nd grade class and their water cycle stop motion!

Water CycleI hope you had lots of fun exploring the water

cycle!
