Lesson plan description

Students will watch a video about the water cycle.

After watching the video, they will play the interactive on-line
game and learn about the stages of the water cycle.
Then they will play the game to find out the paths of the drop of
water. Here they will discover what happens.
Next, they will play in the science lab game to heat and cool
ice. And find out what happens.
In addition, students will perform an experiment related ice and
overflow. They will check for it in the website.
As a wrap up activity, students will do a c-map about the water

cycle, using draw.io

A game in which students are able to heat ice and watch what
happens, then they can freeze water again. They also can
heat water until in evaporates

Reflection

I think that starting the class with a video is an activity that

engages students. Then to reinforce the concepts presented in
the video, they will participate in the interactive game. To deep
their knowledge about that, they will play the next game.
The game at the lab will allow them to experiment with heat
and cold. As well as the site that presents the real life
experiment and provides the steps and conclusions about it.
