Lesson Summary: In this lesson, students explored the water cycle through an interactive and collaborative learning experience using Nearpod, applying their knowledge to deepen understanding of real-world processes. The lesson began with a Nearpod presentation that introduced key stages of the water cycle, such as evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection, with visual aids and interactive quizzes to check comprehension. Students then engaged in a collaboration board activity, sharing observations, questions, and examples of the water cycle from their own experiences. To reinforce their learning, they completed a water cycle chart in their STEM journals, labeling each stage and describing how water moves through the cycle. The lesson concluded with a Nearpod quiz to assess understanding and reflect on the importance of the water cycle in daily life. This engaging approach integrated technology, collaboration, and critical thinking, helping students connect scientific concepts to natural processes they encounter in the world around them.
