Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

One of the most important 6th grade science standards is a deep understanding of the Water Cycle on Earth. As we know, one of the best ways for students to learn is to do things hands-on. I'd love to provide my students with the opportunity to use the much-acclaimed Delta Science Modules Water Cycle Kit. Students build a comprehensive, pictoral chart that shows the continuous movement of water between Earth and the atmosphere known as the water cycle. Each addition to the chart is based on inquiry and investigation, as students explore evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. They create rainbows, measure humidity, and model clouds. In classroom terrariums, students observe that soil, plants, and a mini-pond are the sources of water vapor. Teams even assemble closed water chambers in which rain falls and rivers flow. In the Delta Science Reader Water Cycle, students read about why Earth is called the water planet. They find out about salt water and fresh water and where each is found. They observe how water changes form by freezing, melting, evaporating, and condensing. They trace the water cycle and find out how heat energy from the sun is related to the water cycle. They learn how Earth's weather is affected by the water cycle. They also read about Luke Howard, the scientist who first classified clouds. Finally, students investigate water as a natural resource. Thank you in advance for your consideration to give my students a learning experience that they would not get otherwise! 65 Oakland sixth graders and one very happy teacher thank you for your help!
