The next time you take a drink of water, think about how old that water may be and
where it came from. Did you know that the water cycle is continuous and has existed
since long before the dinosaurs walked the Earth? Hard to believe, but it's true.
This issue of Classroom Connections explains how the water cycle works. After
completing Rachel's video and the RWI Lesson, students should be able to explain
what the water cycle is and list its main components.
WeatherBug and NOAA's Teacher at Sea have returned.
Megan O'Leary, fifth-grade teacher at Truro Central
Schools on Cape Cod in Massachusetts tells us about
her experiences. She spent time on the largest vessel
in the NOAA fleet, the Ronald H. Brown, a state-of-the-art
oceanographic and atmospheric research platform.

Real-World Instruction Lesson (RWI) —Water Cycle
To keep moving from one area to the next, water has
to take a variety of forms such as a solid, liquid
or gas. By changing its state, water is able to float
over land, fall on mountaintops, run down streams
and rivers and transpire through plants.
