What this lesson covers
The Water Cycle is a 8-part Class 4 Science lesson. Each part makes one point and then hands over to the next, so it can be read in a sitting or picked up again at the part you stopped on. It defines the idea in plain words before using it, works through an example step by step, breaks the topic into its parts and compares them, shows where it is used outside the textbook, names the mistakes that cost marks in an exam, ends with a recap of what to remember.
How it begins
The water cycle is the never-ending journey water makes between the sea, the sky and the land. No new water is made and none is lost. The water in your glass today has been round this cycle countless times. It once fell as rain on somewhere very far away. The energy driving the whole thing comes from the Sun.
