| Water
Cycle Model Activity Set |
|
|
 |
This three-dimensional
demonstrator creates a water cycle as it occurs in nature. A fascinating,
ingenious experimental model that actually causes the rain to fall on the
terrain, flow down the slopes, form a body of water, then evaporate in a
continuous cycle. It also graphically shows distillation of water as it
changes to gas. Students can examine the evaporation and condensation
process within the plastic model. Study cards encourage hands-on learning.
Teacher developed activity notebook also includes a full-color overhead
transparency and basic understandings to support classroom activity. |
