Science lesson: the water cycle (grade 5)

A 10-slide science lesson on the water cycle for ages 10 to 11. GenPPT made all 10 slides. The prompt is on this page.

Why this deck works

The lesson starts with a question that a child can answer from experience: where does a puddle go?
Each stage has one slide, one picture, and one key word.
Slide 8 puts the four stages in one diagram. The students see the parts first and then the full cycle.
The quick check and the exit ticket show the teacher what each student learned.

The prompt that made it

10-slide lesson for a grade 5 science class (ages 10 to 11) on the water cycle. One 45-minute lesson.

Slide order: 1 title, 2 today's goal in words a child understands, 3 a question to start (where does a puddle go?), 4 evaporation, 5 condensation, 6 precipitation, 7 collection, 8 the full cycle as one diagram, 9 quick check with three questions, 10 exit ticket.
